Industry Reviews

"Dream It & Do It by Holly Sharp is a perfect book for young kids who want to find their place in this world and what they would like to be when they are older" - 5 star review, Readers Favorite


"The difference between this book and some others isn't just the admonition to dream big, but to follow in the footsteps of others who made seemingly-impossible dreams a reality. The biographies go beyond simply outlining life accomplishments or adversity, stretching the subject into how each person succeeded in translating their vision and efforts into contributing to a better world. Problems are clearly outlined and the thinking which went into resolving them are reviewed so that young readers receive an idea of the problem-solving process." - Midwest Book Review


Best New Product for Kids aged 5-8 Gold Winner for Anthologies, Essays & Collections. - Moms Choice Award


First Place for Short Story Collections - Royal Dragonfly Awards


"I am thrilled to share my story about the power of science. The journey to discovery itself is so interesting, but then to witness how it can improve people's lives is a thrill beyond description. Holly Sharp has done such a beautiful service to society in inspiring children to work hard and follow their passions." - Jean Bennett (geneticist helping reverse blindness)

"Your work is very very important for kids. There is no wonder that you received a pre-launch 5 star review from "Readers' Favorite" - Majd Mashharawi (Founder of Materials Engineering Startup)


"This helps children to create their own serendipity" -Gianna Gaudinin (Google event planner)


Reading is for everyone and can help you achieve your own dream it and do it dreams--whatever they might be! - Dawn Wacek (librarian featured on Ted Talk)


"I believe that young girls need to see role models in all professions, and young boys need to see women in these roles as well. While growing up, I wish I had the advice and vision this book offers to young people" - Rochelle Jones (one of FDNY's first female firefighters)


"Holly Sharp has written a lovely book that is much needed in the world. I wish it was around when my daughter was young. "Dream It and Do It" increases the possibilities and expands a kid's worldview of what career choices there are in life."- David Kelley (Founder of IDEO design firm)
