Hello, Little Dreamer by Kathie Lee Gifford is a sweet children's book with lovely illustrations. In Hello, Little Dreamer, Kathie Lee Gifford inspires the little reader to think about dreams and also to follow God's dreams for them. The book encourages the child to try new things as well as persist in doing things, to grow better and develop their skills. All the encouragements point the little reader to God, which I love. All in all, this is a sweet book for children with great illustrations. I would recommend this to all.

'Hello, little dreamer' is a cute little story written by Kathie Lee Gifford. I love the purpose behind this book- to encourage kids to try new things, to follow their dream, and to know that God supports their dreams. I easily imagined Kathie Lee"s voice as I read this story. I've watched Kathie Lee Gifford through the years and I know that this is a story that means a lot to her as both an author and a person. The illustrations were gorgeous. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to share it with others.

I received an arc of this book, I am freely reviewing this book. I loved the way, Kathie Lee Gifford, shows children that God gave us all a purpose in life. This book encourages children to do new things, try the impossible, and above all, the love God has for us,ALWAYS. I really enjoyed this book, so did my grand children. I have bought this as a gift to them all, for Christmas!

What a sweet little book! The illustrations are beautiful and the message is so important. I love that KLG reminds the reader that God has know them from the very beginning. I cannot wait to share this book with the children in our bible study.

Thank you Kathi Lee Gifford, Thomas Nelson/ Harper Collins Christian Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.

This book is so sweet.
First of all, I loooooove the illustrations! They are really quite beautiful. I also love that they have some diversity in the ethnicities of the children drawn. That makes it relatable to more children and families,
I also love how the story flows. It rhymes, which is great for little ones, and the words explain things in a way that is simple and interesting at the same time. The words are easy to see and read, but there is a word set apart through font and colors that makes the story flow nicely too.
I like how the author explains what a dream is and that God gave all of us different dreams. How we have dreams that are easy to reach and dreams that take longer to reach. How it compares dreams from God like paintings-they take time to accomplish. The story does a good job of explaining how dreams can be different in the pictures too!
This book is so sweet, and if you’re a religious person, or believe in God, this is a lovely book to read with your children!

This book features stunning illustrations and a beautiful theme. It can be read to the youngest children while also resonating with adults. In these difficult times, I believe that nurturing children and their dreams is more important than ever. As a side note, especially if you are considering it as a gift, God is present throughout in a nondenominational way. Highly recommended!

**I was provided a free copy of this book by the publisher (via NetGalley) in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own (and my kid's!).**
This book is *adorable*. My kids (5yo & 3yo) were captivated by the illustrations and the message. This book gave us a chance to talk about dreams and how God encourages us to dream. I love how this book talks about God planting dreams inside us because He wants wonderful things for us. It talks about how He wants all the wonderful dreams inside us to come true! While this lays a wonderful foundation for kids to start thinking about their dreams and futures, it's worth noting that our dreams don't always match God's (the book mentions that too). I have a lot of respect for Kathie Lee Gifford and her courage in being outspoken about her faith. This book only adds to my admiration for her as a mother and as a godly woman. I'm grateful for this book, it's biblical encouragement for little ones, and the beauty it adds to our lives. I look forward to reading it many more times as they grow!

What a delightful book especially in this crazy time. Kathie has a way with lyrical tone and the basis is so true! Never give up on your dreams no matter how small or how big. Anita does a wonderful job of the illustrations being diverse and so precious. I highly recommend this book to any young child to help them find their dreams and to begin living them.

I received an electronic ARC from Thomas Nelson: Children through NetGalley.
Gorgeous illustrations support this tender story of God's love and plan for each child. Gifford encourages young readers to be brave and bold and follow their dreams. They will feel God's presence with them as they grow and explore.
Touching story for preschool and younger elementary readers though the message applies at all ages.

Thanks Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the Arc in exchange for an honest review.
The illustrations in this book are adorable - I can picture children gravitating towards this book at night. While I’m not overly religious being non practising Christians this isn’t preachy, I found this message extremely beautiful and written for younger children. I can’t wait to read to my nephews at bedtime when they come to stay.

I love this cutesy style of illustration. It's one of my favorites. Plus the message of this book that God puts desires in our hearts and helps us grow to achieve them. It's what makes us unique and how God molds us into the people He wants us to be.

This book tells children that God has a dream for them before they were born. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes it takes longer, but that’s okay. It has a beautiful message for children. The illustrations are wonderful. I think the book is great for ages 4-8. When my grandchildren are old enough to understand, I will read this book to them. Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson: Children’s for the E-ARC. This is my own opinion.
