Dare to Dream Reviews

a companion publication to the fantastic Blazing A Trail ... vivid portraits by Graham Corcoran ... Sarah Webb's accessible prose delivers key and fun facts. This title is a great addition to school bookshelves with lots of scope for further reading and project-based work ... discover ... be inspired

* InTouch Magazine *

incredible true-life stories ... concise one-page biographies of well-known and lesser-known figures from all walks of Irish history and contemporary life, from revolutionaries like Padraig Pearse and Elizabeth O'Farrell to rock-stars like Bono and Hozier. However, it is the lesser-known stories - like that of American Civil War soldier Albert DJ Cashier and adventurer Madam Dragonfly - that really sing. Graham Corcoran's chiselled portraits dominate suggestive background landscapes, which use a few key details to support Webb's pithy prose'

* Irish Times *

amazing lives that will inspire young dreamers ... provides plenty of inspiration for the country's next generation of movers and shakers

* Evening Echo *
