One universal concern of childhood is thoughts of the future. Children all wonder if they will grow up to be what they wish and hope for. In this unique photographic journey around the globe, author Takashi Owaki interviews children about their dreams for their lives.

Visiting Mexico, Russia, China, and Finland, as well as nine other countries, Owaki asks children what they want to be when they grow up. Their answers are surprising and refreshing, and often express the cultural values they live with. Their world is photographed, and a snippet of their daily activities is also included.

Children delight in learning about different cultures. When sharing on a topic dear to their hearts, they enjoy the experience even more. Dreams Around the World will captivate children as they explore new worlds through others' dreams.

“Let me say first off, that this book is full of really good writing. I think that it will appeal to people who like very detailed writing where you can picture perfectly what's going on. A couple of the stories sort of reminded me of a screenplay where there was a strong focus on the various events of the story. ”

One Peace Manga Classic Readers
Not to be confused with the wildly popular One Piece manga, these titles, including ¡ÈDon Quixote¡É and ¡ÈThe War of the Worlds¡É are translations of Japanese adaptations. The editor Robert McGuire thinks of them as gateway drugs. Barreling through Moby-Dick, my son was struck by Mr. Stubbs's explanation to Ishmael, ¡ÈYou don't laugh ¡Æcuz it's fun to! Things are fun because you're laughing.¡É If Melville isn't spinning in the grave yet, wait until he hears Milo's verdict that ¡Èit doesn't need to be as long as the real Moby- Dick is because a picture says 1,000 words.¡É Tis the price of lasting celebrity in the age of PlayStation and YouTube.

“Dreams Around the World” is a beautifully photographed odyssey around the world exploring the treasured dreams of thirteen children from locations as diverse as Africa, Finland, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, and Poland. The author/photographer traveled from Japan to fifty five countries on six continents, interviewing over 1400 children to obtain the thirteen children chosen for “Dreams Around the World.” Written to appeal to children ages 4-8, “Dreams Around the World” shows a great variety of cultural outlooks, resulting in specific cherished goals and dreams of these children. Many children will recognize or perhaps discover dreams of their own here, to be a ballerina, a teacher, a gelato shop owner, a police officer, or a clown! Although continents and addresses may vary, something about all children's dreams is similar. For a wonderful opportunity to begin to imagine global ties and the joyous miracle of cultural diversity, “Dreams Around the World” is a perfect introduction to a common heritage of global awareness.

The titular story in this book is the most vivid both in terms of its plot and its characters. “Jack the Bastard” is an often grim, often intense meditation on violence and revenge and history, full of surprisingly complex and odd characters who all seem to have their own agendas. Nathan is very effective at creating fully fledged characters at just a few strokes and creating settings that are remarkably intense. I could practically taste the dust from the Texas plains as I read the early sections of this story, and see these characters clearly in mind's eye as the story progressed on.
