SCHOOL VISIT: Dear You, Dream Big
Baptiste's appearance is a school-visit only.
Presented in partnership with the UW-Madison Odyssey Junior Project.
A new classic for Black and Brown children.
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is possible!
Perhaps you want to become an artist, or a scientist, or maybe even president. Even when–especially when–the path is hard, Dear YOU: Dream BIG.
A personal, poetic, and uplifting affirmation from Caribbean-born author Baptiste Paul encouraging today’s Black youth to reject those who wish to silence them, exclude them, and reject their talents with one powerful refrain.
A powerful, lyrical anthem of Black pride celebrating Black creativity, leadership, and innovation that’s perfect for fans of All Because You Matter, I Am Every Good Thing, and I Am Enough.
