Dream BIG: Chapter ONE - A children's story about the power of belief!
I am Jorey Tessier, the author of Dream BIG: Chapter ONE. Throughout the last two years I've done a lot of self work which led to the journey of writing a series of children's books. This story came out of conversations I have had with people who kept telling me "I wish I knew what I know now at your age". It really got me thinking. I thought to myself "what if there's a way to educate children to believe in themselves" and "could you imagine how confident they would be"? This is when Dream BIG was made into a story!
2015 was a stepping stone in the creative process. I acquired an artist, and editor, and a self publishing company that is a great fit.
It's now 2016 and time to make Dream BIG: Chapter ONE a REALITY!
The man behind the art!
Shawn Colbeck, the same artist who worked on Disney's Tarzan and Atlantis, has taken Dream BIG and brought it to life. His work never ceases to amaze me! From a full spread in the book, to every minute detail, his work is what makes Dream BIG that much better!
