Book Reviews

Here is what people have to say about “Brianna’s Dreams”:

Brianna’s Dream/ I Just Want to Know is a book about a young girl’s wonder and discovery of identity and connection. She dreams of her family appearance or moments that they might share. I enjoyed the moments of wonder described and the colorful illustrations that followed. Debra was able to capture the mind of a child who has a limited view of themselves and distorted thoughts about their background. This book would engage young readers who struggle with self-identity, emotional uncertainty, and limited social connection. As children discover themselves through curiosity, they need a way to connect to the world around them, Brianna’s Dream/ I Just Want to Know will support their journey.

I absolutely adored reading Brianna’s story. She is such a brave little girl. There are so many children just like her with unanswered questions. They just want to know. The illustrations were very perfect for the story line.

Mrs. Davis's book sheds light on the many complicated questions and feelings my young adopted clients express in counseling, even after they have found their forever home. Brianna’s Dreams/ I Just Want to Know will be on my bookshelf as a resource to help parents understand the feelings and lives of their adopted or foster children and to show young clients that they are not alone in “ just wanting to know.”

I just read Brianna's Dreams/ I Just Want To Know. This story and its wonderful illustrations touched me so much. As the mother of several adopted children, this book is so vital in answering their questions. I spent many hours talking to them about their young lives and their birth families. Having a book like this allows them to know that they are not alone. Debra Davis has certainly captured what every child needs in finding their place in the world...answers. I hope everyone, especially educators, adoptive parents and foster parents will make sure Brianna's Dreams: I Just Want To Know is a part of each child’s library. I loved the book. Wish I had it when my children were young.
