About this listen

From creative visionary of The Word Collector, Happy Dreamer, and Be You, #1 New York Times bestseller Peter H. Reynolds, comes an uplifting story about learning to follow your heart and your toes!

She glanced down... her ten toes reminded her to keep moving in the right direction: forward. Always forward.

It's Dream Big Week at school! Everyone is excited to share their dreams for the future—except Charley. She has no idea what she wants for her future. But on her walk home, Charley learns that even if she doesn't know exactly what she wants to be when she grows up, she knows what KIND of person she wants to be.

From our most celebrated, bestselling creator Peter H. Reynolds, this inspirational tale serves as a reminder to audiences of all ages that while we might not have all the answers to life's biggest questions, the important thing is to trust yourself and keep moving with an open heart and open mind—always forward.

''Via heartfelt signature-style cartoons, Reynolds emphasizes mindfully moving forward over knowing exactly what's next.''—Publishers Weekly
