The co-founders of Arts & Dreams, Laura Baran and Patricia Geremia, have written their first book for children. Over a summer in New York City, a young girl named Rose changes the way she thinks about herself through making art. Rose's Aunt Olive visits with creative ideas to help boost Rose's big dreams. Featuring Laura's hand-painted illustrations that are based on photographs by Patricia, this is a heartwarming story with a powerful message of transformation. Laura Baran and Patricia Geremia co-founded Arts & Dreams, an organization whose mission is to expand hope and self-love through creative expression. The creation of Arts & Dreams was inspired by Laura's brother Jeff's suicide, which he attributed to his feelings of hopelessness. Since 2009, Arts & Dreams has been fulfilling its purpose by leading empowering art workshops for hundreds of children, teens, and adults in New York City.
