5 Minutes for Books‘ reviewer and children’s literature super-fan Dawn is happy to be working with Scholastic to bring you a new picture book by New York Times best-selling author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. Be sure to check out the prize pack giveaway worth over $100 at the end!

Inspirational and celebratory picture book from NYT best-selling author Peter H. Reynolds

Peter H. Reynolds is known for creating picture books with a heart, and his best-selling books offer young readers recognition and affirmation. With his newest, Happy Dreamer, he continues this tradition and encourages children to listen to their inner voice. Add this title to the list of picture books that make for whimsical graduation gifts for kids of all ages!

A happy dreamer is creative and always full of ideas. Whether on the move or taking a moment of quiet, happy dreamers follow their heart and acknowledge their uniqueness. Peter H. Reynolds has created a celebration of this spirit in this colorful picture book featuring one of his signature drawn characters, full of life and happiness. Watch the official book trailer below to experience the joy for yourself.

I quite like the fold-out pages near the end of the book that give dozens of illustrated examples of different types of “happy” and various kinds of “dreamers.” These pages encourage children and the adults reading with them to engage in conversations about what makes each of them happy, and it’s likely everyone involved will learn a little more about each other!

Whether you’ve got a dreamer in your life ready to embark on their next chapter, or you just want to share a joyful read with a child, this is a perfectly fun picture book for the occasion.

Be sure to check out the official #HappyDreamer website, and follow Scholastic’s social media channels on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

  247. 切手シートの売却価格は金券ショップによってかなり違います。ほとんど
    のチケットショップは切手シートの買取にそれほど力を入れていない、または切手に対する専門的な知識がないため、機械的に額面の何割で買取をするという査定方法が多くなっています。

    また、一時期流行にもなって切手を収集していた人達が多く高齢になったこともあり、プレミアが付く切手があっても売却先がないという状況になっています。

    また、外国の切手特に中国切手に関しては店員でも評価できなかったりすることがほとんどため、売却を遠慮されてしまうということも多々あります。 切手の売却なら切手の買取に力を入れている金券ショップに依頼するのが一番高額買い取ってもらえます。
