Click on the image below to get access to An Awesome Book, created by Dallas Clayton, an author and illustrator for his son. The book is about the idea of dreaming BIG and never giving up. Dallas Clayton wants to spread the love of reading all over the world. An Awesome Book is a book for children but I am sure you can learn some vocabulary from it, and it is translated into lots of different languages so if you have a little sibling or cousin, enjoy the book with him/her!
