WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“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 olderâ€- Readers Favorite 5 Star Review
"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.â€- 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 serendipityâ€â€“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)
Review:
Dream It & Do It features one hundred stories of people who succeeded in their chosen career path. These quick, one page stories are meant to inspire young minds and show the possible career paths that an interest can take them on. The book is separated into four sections of career possibilities: artists, helpers, business and discoverers. Featured are a diverse listing of people from all walks of life; some people had many obstacles to overcome, and others were given a helping hand. A commonality that brings all of them together is their passion for what they do.
Each person's story gives not only the background of how they found their passion, but their career path and practical advice on what kids can do now if they are interested. What I liked best about this compilation was that it not only highlights the showy careers such as songwriters, musicians, athletes, doctors and high profile inventors, but the careers that people don't hear about as often such as editors, designers, researchers, engineers, data scientists and historians. Each career path is treated equally and shows that each job is important and what matters most is what you put into it.
This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
About the Holly:
Sharp spent the bulk of her career in new product development—dreaming up intuitive ideas from how to kill bugs to new ice cream forms to hit grocery shelves. A self-proclaimed problem-solver, she loves to think about the things that the world needs and figuring out how to make those things come to life. “Knowing in high school what I wanted to do with my life set me up for the right path. I wanted the same for my child and searched for books to guide her, but came up short,†Sharp said. “That’s when I thought, ‘why not write the book for my child that she needs and that will also help others?â€
