Dream Reach: Amani Middle School

Goals & Dreams Presentation at Amani Public Charter School - Mt. Vernon, NY

"I think that kids will get an understanding of what affirmations are. They will use them to make dreams possible. One day if there is an affirmation in that book that gives the advice that they need, they can use it as a guide in life." - BA!LEY

"I found myself speaking to one of my scholars about their suicidal thoughts and

this book was a perfect way to build this child’s self-esteem. He really enjoyed the affirmations that we recited together and we were able to use this book as a safe conversation starter. After, I reached out to his mother and explained how I used the quotes to breathe the spirit of life back into her child. They both requested a book of their own... In that moment, I knew this book had the potential to save lives and bring meaningful conversation into many homes." - TERI SCOTT, EDUCATOR \\ AMANI

Dream Board : Strive Higher

StoryTime, FamilyTalk w/ Strive Higher at T-Mobile - Mount Vernon, NY

"I like to get the opportunity to speak to kids and encourage them to be whoever they want to be in their every day lives," - BA!LEY

"We were beyond thrilled when we connected with Dreamreacher Creative. We were looking for a book that could serve as an introduction to the importance of inspirational words and one that would help parents have meaningful conversations with their children. Their book, In the Wind , was exactly what we were looking for. The book provides kid-friendly affirmations, which can also serve as prompts for conversations with children. We invited the family to join us for storytime and the event was an absolute success! Both the children and the parents enjoyed the affirmations and the discussions that followed." - OLGA BAEZ, FOUNDER \\ STRIVE HIGHER INC.

Festival sponsor guest signing

Westchester Children's Book Festival - White Plains, NY

"I enjoyed all the books and activities there. There were also a lot of bubbles.. I really liked that I got an opportunity to share my own book. They had food trucks and a petting zoo. I got three books for myself, one of them is "Good enough to eat" It's a guide to help you remember good nutrition. It felt really nice to give my books to families." - BA!LEY

"From the first day I met Bailey at our kindergarten meet and greet, I was greatly impressed with her outgoing personality. Bailey’s eloquent vocabulary far exceeded any five-year-old I had ever encountered. She walked right up to me with such self-confidence coupled with a warm and friendly smile. She proceeded to introduce herself and expressed her excitement for the upcoming school year. I can remember standing in awe and having a sense of excitement rush over me because I immediately knew that this scholar had an extremely bright future ahead of her. Bailey is a model student who has not only been diligent in her work at school, but also has a keen interest in extracurricular activities such as writing and publishing books. You can feel her passion and love for learning by reading her first book titled “In the Wind.” Bailey is committed to helping children develop mindfulness and encourages them to pursue their goals." - Jennifer Spina, Elementary School Principal \\ CSEE
