Inspiring all the things your child can be
- Introduce your child to the possibilities of the future through reading and play.
Kids who develop interests and talents earlier in life are more likely to find joy and success as they become adults - how can we help inspire this passion?
Dream It & Do it was inspired by the desire to introduce children to a wider range of career possibilities at a young age.
Kids are drawn to what they know or what they see in cartoons. My goal is to expand children's interests by facilitating meaningful conversations with parents through reading and play.

- A little about me....

Holly SharpI've spent the last 15 years in new product development dreaming up crazy ideas from how to kill bugs dead to new ice cream forms that will be on shelves this summer. I love thinking about things that the world needs and figuring out how to make them happen.
For my many baby showers people were asked to bring books instead of cards and it got me thinking about what types of books I wanted to fill my personal library with. I started searching for this book and when it didn't exist, I thought - well since I am laid off and the world is a scary place right now- why not stay home and write it myself.
I hope you will subscribe to hear about the book when it launches and will support small authors like myself!

Knowing in high school what I wanted to do with my life set me up for the right college, the right internship early and a leg up for that first job. I hope the same advantage for my child and was very interested in books to help me figure out what she might be interested in, but came up short. There are some great ones that focus on specific careers, but nothing that really inspires parents and kids to look at the full rainbow of possibilities. So, when I found myself laid off at 6 months pregnant, I thought, why not write the book for my baby that I want to exist in the world.
I am not a writer, but I have hired a wonderful editor and am setting off on a mission to complete this book before baby is old enough to read it!
I want to thank my niece Natalie for loving the Rebel Girls book I bought her 5 years ago and allowing that love to inspire my approach to this goal.
