Reviews and media coverage

Charisse Carney-Nunes was interviewed by Good Morning America Weekend News Anchor Ron Claiborne for the ABC News Now show "Speak Freely." April 19, 2007. Read the transcript.

I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD was reviewed in School Library Journal (SLJ). SLJ is the "sister publication" to Publishers Weekly, and is a major source that librarians and educators use to choose books for children. They generally only review books from large, established publishers, so landing this positive review is a big deal. Here is what they had to say:

"This book raises awareness of many problems in society, and the specific action statements are empowering ... [It] may be best used by caring adults who want to share their dreams of a better world for all."
--Excerpted from School Library Journal, April 2007, © Reed Business Information.

I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD was reviewed in the March-April 2007 of prestigious Black Issues Book Review!!! "Released in conjunction with Tavis Smiley's 2007 State of the Black Union Conference, I Dream for You a World pieces together a vibrant portrait of the better tomorrow that everyone dreams for children. The lyrical text and colorful photo-collages are inspiring. The book also includes concepts for children - and adults- for establishing personal ideals, instilling family values and building strong communities." Black Issues Book Review, Mar./Apr. 2007, Page 22.
