Dreams for Our Daughters

Product Information

Again, this is a perfect gift for parents to celebrate the life-journey of their daughters and will ring true at all key life moments; birth, going off to school or university, or heading off into the world on your own; a gentle, poetic reminder of the dreams to always carry along the way and to be yourself, always…proudly and with great heart. It’s a poetic introduction to what it means to be raised as a girl and the dazzling possibilities the world has to offer. The world is waiting just for you, ready for you to explore and find your place, in this mesmerising collaboration from Ruth Doyle and Ashling Lindsay.

While I don't particularly care for the "guiding star" aspect, I recognize the intent is for the child to imagine greatly and believe they can do things. EXODAI by Elizabeth Hendrick is a brutal, honest and unflinching look at love, obsession and torture. With an inspirational message, Dreams for our Daughters speaks of what it means to be a child in this challenging world. A lovely, whimsical book that is an encouragement to girls to dream, believe, achieve because they can do what they dream of doing. An uplifting and inspirational picture book about the unique experiences and opportunities that children raised as girls will encounter in this sometimes troubling, challenging world.This lavishly foiled, inspiring picture book is the perfect gift for every key moment in a child’s life, from birth to graduation. It’s a prophetic word of what could be, what is hoped for, and what may come to pass, if only we allow our young girls the freedom to dream. The artwork is by turns whimsical, adventurous and energetic, addressing current issues such as climate change, Pride and the comparative importance of inner and outer beauty.

If you’re looking for a keepsake gift for a new baby girl then this stunning and poetic forthcoming picture book, Dreams for our Daughters by Ruth Doyle and Ashling Lindsay, would be a beautiful choice.

This book is newly discovered treasure, glittering with promise and joy from the minute you open its covers. The illustrations – vibrant and lively in a rich, warm palette – show young girls exploring the world and vividly express the hopes and joy contained in the text.
