“‘Your future story is yours, and you are the author.’ Ashley captures the hearts of kids and adults alike as she shares a message of hope and empowerment. I Want to Be a Lot shares a necessary message that shatters the status quo of society and breaking the mold to find personal happiness. Through a personal narrative, Ashley invites kids, parents, and educators to reflect upon what each hopes for in order to find their place in society. This is a great gift for children and a great way to spark dialogue as they dream for their tomorrow.”—Roman Nowak, teacher and agent of transformation at É.S.C. L’Escale
“I loved this sweet book. The idea of any of us having to be just ‘one thing’ is so antiquated. We can and should be helping students realize that their gifts, talents, and interests don’t always fit into one box. They can be ‘a lot’ more than just one thing!—Todd Nesloney, educator, speaker, and coauthor of Kids Deserve It!
“I love this book!!!!!!!! Ashley truly hits the mark with her first book, I Want to Be A Lot! Who knows what they want when we are in school? Does it matter? The message and illustrations take us on a journey that shows us it is okay to change our minds! Cheers to a wonderful book that belongs in every school library and classroom!”—Jeff Kubiak, educator, author of One Drop of Kindness, speaker and advocate for #AllKids
“Ashley Savage has composed a masterpiece for all ages! You will be moved by Willow's journey of self-discovery. As I read this book, I imagined reading this aloud to my three daughters when they were younger. This book is a perfect conversation starter between parents, educators and kids on the limitless possibilities before us. I also envision this book as a wonderful way to engage educators on how to inspire our kids to change the world. Ashley Savage writes from the heart and you will be inspired by her beautiful worlds along with the artistry of Genesis Kohler's illustrations. Adding this title to your bookshelf will fill your heart and encourage you to connect with kids on how they want to be a lot.”—Sean Gaillard, principal and author of The Pepper Effect |
