Penelope Dyan

Happy Birthday! a Book About Birthdays, Dreams and Wishes Penelope Dyan

Birthdays are about more than just cakes, balloons and presents, although those are fun. A birthday means you are one year older and with each year you will be accomplishing new things, and have new dreams, and you will be growing into adulthood. Children can't wait to become adults and to have all their dreams come true, and they need to be encouraged to follow their dreams, because dreams really can come true if you believe in yourself and your dreams. Penelope Dyan encourages her young readers to hold steadfast to their dreams, and her message for parents is that they can make their dreams come true as well, because dreams have no limit; and anything is possible, and people can make their dreams come true! Dyan is the author of award winning 'Surfer Girl,' the first book in the Surfer Girl Book Series. Surfer Girl was the winner of best teen book at the 2008 New York Book Festival and best teen book at the 2008 Hollywood book Festival and is recognized by Girls Voices In Literature Database, Miami University Florida. Surfer girl is also ranked fifth on the Australian Pukeke top ten reading list for early teen girls, and her book "A Book For Girls About Being A Girl" is ranked third in poetry for girls ages 5-9. Dyan is also a former teacher and an attorney, proving once again that you can't go wrong with a Bellissima Book. Give your favorite person this book for their birthday and watch them smile, because you just can't go wrong with a dream or a Bellissima Book!
