Pedro's Dream

Pedro, like every other baby pelican, has just hatched from his egg and is ready to explore his world. The illustrations, with their heartfelt appeal to children, lovingly show him watching the pelicans as they dive into the ocean for food. After being fed by his mother Pedro snuggles in for a nap. As he sleeps, he dreams that he has joined the pelicans for his first attempt at diving for food, not an easy task and one that requires bravery and skill. But, as this beautifully written book continues, Pedro, in his dream, is successful and the excitement of the moment wakens him to his parents' call for him to learn how to fly and catch food. His dream has given him the confidence and self-assurance to follow his parents' wishes. This story, based on factual information about Brown Pelicans and available in English and Spanish, is written and illustrated with a deep understanding of young children and a delightful celebration of believing in yourself and your ability to achieve.
