Bookstore Services

I do children’s book consulting for independent bookstores.

  • New bookstore? I can help with opening day lists and new store questions of all kinds.
  • Not happy with your children’s section? I can help redesign it and work on your frontlist and backlist  inventory.
  • Need a buyer? I’m an independent buyer- I work with reps over the phone and through Edelweiss to buy for your store.

  • The Caldecott Medal: Behind the Scenes. Designed for all ages.
  • Have a children’s book topic you want discussed? Drop me a line and I can customize a presentation for you.

Why Dream On Books?

I’ve been told so many times in my life to “dream on, you can’t do this” or “dream on, that will never work.” So, I thought, why not? I can dream on to better things and dream on to wonderful accomplishments. Also I love the idea of dreaming on children’s books and finding the magical places they can take you.
