Big is a dream who towers over all the other dreams in his town. In this story, they all have only two goals: to find their matching person and to help them realize their dream; when they\u2019re successful, the dreams turn blue. As other, smaller dreams match up with their people, Big finds himself left alone, without a dreamer. He searches across town, but most people either ignore him or are intimidated by his giant size\u2014but he continues his quest, ignoring the fact that others tease him, and refusing to quit. Over the course of this book, Sirls flips the common idea of people not giving up on dreams, offering a refreshing take that makes for an enthralling tale: \u201cBut Big was a dream \/ and everyone knows \/ that dreams never give up.\u201d San Vicente\u2019s whimsical cartoon illustrations help make this book stand out even further; most of the drawings are grayscale with only a few intentionally colored objects. The few spots of color give the story\u2019s events and ultimate outcome a uniquely dramatic effect.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
