Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book! I adored this picture book. The illustrations and story were great. I just wish the word God was not used so much. I work in a Children's Room of a public library and in our community we have all different types of patrons with different beliefs and I don't know if this would be utilized because of the use of the word. I still thoroughly enjoyed the story! Thank you again!

A very calm, sweet, lovely illustrated children's book.
I saw Kathie Lee Gifford's name and just couldn't resist swooping it up for my precious little 4 year old.
She deeply enjoyed the illustrations and spent most of her time looking at them and smiling.
We aren't a Christian home and don't tend to bring a lot of God-heavy content into our library yet but this book was gentle and easy to introduce ideas with.

Hello, Little Dreamer is a children's book that is based on the assumption that each child is unique, that each child has a special destiny that is not always easy to recognize, and that this destiny is like a seed planted by God in the fertile soul of a child. The colorful and engaging illustrations are used to underscore these points to young audience.

I wondered at times, if these concepts are too abstract for a young child. Perhaps if a story could be shared about a child struggling to come terms with their "destiny", it can be relatable. However, as it is now, it can be a conversation starter with children about these fundamental themes.

It's beautifully drawn.
The meaning of this book is to encourage kids to try new things.
It's a good book to read before bedtime.

Hello, Little Dreamer is an adorable picture book for children. Each page is beautifully illustrated to catch even the smallest child’s eye. The words are just perfect to encourage children to follow the dreams that God puts on their hearts, but explaining that it does take time. These are words that I have always tried to instill in my own children. A perfect book for small children, but one they can refer back to in the years to come.

Gorgeous illustrations - probably my favorite thing about this book! Very intentional in representing a lot of ethnicities and animals.

Message was sweet, rhyming was a little clunky reading it out loud. Overall makes a great gift and addition to a nursery or classroom.

With cute and colorful pages this sweet story encourages children to believe in their dreams, at the same time it has a reminder that some dreams take time to come true.

I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

A cute book, beautiful illustrations, but I can’t say it is a favorite. The subject is kind of vague and the idea seems a little complicate to understand. As an adult if I have to get into the subject I don’t know if I would encourage every dream my child has. I would encourage him to dream big and seek Gods will, but I would want him to focus more on God than the desires of his heart, that we call dreams

This book made me cry. Tears of all the hopes and dreams I have for my own three children. This was the sweetest tribute to God and how He directs our paths and dreams. I can not wait to buy this book for my kids and read it over and over with them! This is a fantastic children’s book!

Hello Little Dreamer is a wonderful inspirational children's book about finding and following the dream that God planted inside of you at a young age.

It was my privilege to receive a digital ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is beautiful and tells an important message for kids everywhere. Each of us were uniquely designed by God for a great purpose. To know how special He considered us can inspire us to dream big dreams.

I appreciated the length of the book which was a tad longer than many books for children. The verse is extremely engaging. To top off the wonderful story, the illustrations are fantastic - representing kids of every culture.

This would be an excellent gift for our kids and grandkids.

Simply a gem! I love the pics, love the message, adore the unconditional love. This is such a beautiful message. Love the diversity as well. Would make for a great supplement to a baby shower gift.

I absolutely love the children's books that Kathie Lee Gifford writes! Hello, Little Dreamer teaches kids of all ages that God places dreams inside of us that are unique to each individual. The author teaches that dreams take time sometime, but don't give up on them or God. I love that the author pointed out that God also dreams. The illustrations were beautiful. This book would be a wonderful addition to a family devotional or to be read in a classroom setting. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book! (This review is also on GoodReads.)

Hello, Little Dreamer is full of adorable illustrations and easy-to-read rhymes. Each page teaches children about God's great plans for them and reminds them that they have always been a part of His "dreams". My children loved this book and I'm sure we will end up reading it many more times.

I really liked this. It had a wonderful rhythm and great illustrations. I was not expecting it to be religious, it gave no indication it would be religious at all. I have no problems with religious children's books, however, I do believe it should be clear that the story is religious as not all people practice certain religions or any at all.

Such a cute book and I'm really pleased with the length and illustrations. I'd like it better if there was more of a focus on glorifying God...that should inform all of our dreams, as Christians.

This children's book was so precious!

Not only is it gorgeously illustrated, but the story is so beautiful as well, teaching children from a young age about the dreams God places in our hearts.

I love that it teaches that sometimes we have to wait on the Lord and His timing for those dreams to come true, but also how other times they are brought to life quickly.

It's a gorgeous tale that would be delightful to read over and over again.

I highly recommend this book for the little children in your life!

Hello, Little Dreamer is a children’s book written by Kathie Lee Gifford.

This cute little story shares how God plants dreams in your heart before you are even born. It is a sweet reminder to children that God has a plan for your life, and He cares about you.

My Thoughts: The message in this story is one children need to hear. And, combined with the beautiful colors and adorable illustrations, it would make a wonderful bedtime read.

I liked it, and would definitely read it to my children.

I would like to thank Thomas Nelson for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you!
