Book review by the Ohio Psychological Association

Amazon’s #1 book in the dreams category
Thanks for your support, everyone. It has been a great debut for our new book “Dream it!”. We actually earned Amazon’s “#1 New Release” in the “Dreams” category. Hopefully that is a foothold in having the book go mainstream and change the world. I really do think that if the next generation of kids all have inspirational dreams, the world will inevitably become an awesome place.

Success — More monarch butterflies and more young readers
Our Make-A-Book Project resulted in more monarch butterflies, more readers, more authors, and a new book to last a lifetime and a whole lot of other benefits. Below, we highlight some projects that coincided with our Make-A-Book Project.
Book signing at the local family non-profit
After spending half the school year creating a book in the Make-a-Book Project, I love to see how the project continues to grow and spread into the community. We’ve seen the school photo make the local newspaper, butterfly gardens blossoming, students taking up their own writing projects, and much more.
Butterfly book celebration
Finally, the best part of the whole project — the book celebration. We were honored to have hundreds of community members attend and support both the book and the monarch butterfly.
Help save the butterflies
Like many species on our planet, monarch butterflies face many challenges. The population has shrunk dramatically, and their great migration has nearly collapsed more than once. Here is how you can help.
Making of the monarch butterfly school photo
This is another one of my favorite all-time photographs. Unlike the past three photographs where I was standing on the roof of the school, this is photographed using a drone. It took hours of preparation and was called off several times. Read more about how I made this photos.
