ABOUT THE MAKE-BELIEVERS:

From America’s favorite host and media personality, Ryan Seacrest, and his sister, Meredith Seacrest Leach, comes a debut picture book that celebrates the surprising strength of a child’s wild, wonderful imagination and how it can change the whole world.

You might think dreams only exist at night,
when the moon is glowing, and your eyes are shut tight.
But what if I told you there’s another kind of dreaming?
All you have to do is make believe.
Because you can be a Make-Believer!
