REVIEWS:

“‘Little Dream’ perfectly captures the heartache of waiting and loss; beautifully wrapping the pain in the whimsy of ceaselessly dreaming of what could be. The charming illustrations breathe life into the story, which will no doubt transcend generations to come. Thank you, Celeste, for gracefully putting into words what infertility looks like. When my daughter arrives in just a few short weeks, I will read this story to her every day and she will undoubtedly know how much she is endlessly loved. ”

“Wow, this is the most beautiful book ever!! Should be a bestseller! Thank you, thank you for writing these words and sharing them. I cannot imagine a more perfect gift than this to give to a friend or loved one who is experiencing infertility or loss. Nothing can take away the pain people are experiencing, but reading your book can help them feel heard, understood, and seen. And what a precious gift for their/your future children to be able to read and convey to them how loved they are! I also think it’s important for people who haven’t faced infertility to read your book, because it can help them become more empathetic and compassionate. I feel very passionately that your book can change people’s lives and hearts for the better. It is a masterpiece!!”
