Comments by Erin Silver, Judge:
I was immediately drawn to this dark, fragmented form juxtaposed against a bright (if slightly weather-beaten) yellow void. Within a black, vaguely feminine shape, tiny shell-shocked landscapes begin to come into focus. Divided and compartmentalized, almost reminiscent of county lines within a state, are shades of gray that keep you on the edge of seeing some kind of familiar scene or just a small mass of arbitrary lines and smears. It begs you to recognize and assign meaning to your ephemeral first impressions while threatening to devolve into chaos if you overstay your welcome. I feel that this push and pull is critical in engaging the viewer to do more than just scan the visual information and mindlessly move on.

Cricket Magazine
"The Secret", a short story for ages 9-14, tackles the subject of mothers and children who find themselves abandoned and homeless – a subject far too many children either experience or for which they have real fears. The beginning sets the mood of fear but quickly moves to one of courage, the hope of sunrise and the beauty of the natural world. The voice is that of twelve year old Lacey who sees both the strength of her mother and the need for her own strength for both her mother and her little brother. Although a temporary solution, the end brings them to a better place through the kindness of a caring older man.

Dreams and Imagination
Stepping through dream windows, we look at the world as a child could see it. Dreams and Imagination combines reality with creativity and by using both a script and songs, it wanders through a land of discovery – of the world around children and of themselves and their place in this world. Children can imagine and become birds flying in the sky or bumblebees sipping on a flower, but through it all, they know they are loved and are very special.
Dreams and Imagination is a journey into a child’s world, but it is also a positive statement of self-worth and love.
Dreams and Imagination News:
As of March 2015, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is using Dreams and Imagination for their patients. Both the activity book and the CD will be given to long-term patients, and the individual sheets of the activity book will be reproduced and placed in the Urgent Care and ER centers for the children to use while waiting to see the doctors. We are pleased to be sharing Dreams and Imagination with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta!
Spring 2013: The Dreams and Imagination CD is now available in the Cobb County Library System. Check it out!
September 2012: Dreams and Imagination now has an activity book and a children's musical available. The activity book is a workbook based on the original CD. The children's musical is a play using the five songs on the original CD. Both can be purchased through the Dreams and Imagination website: www.dreams-and-imagination.com
