Dreaming True Ben Desmond

Dreaming True is a picture book with an artist based personal account. At first lacking confidence, the artist presents his drawings as the best of his abilities. There is unique art that children may be inspired by. He stops presenting and falls asleep. His art respects him, although he does not respect his art, in fact teasing it and making fun of them like a part of his personal amusement as he himself cannot draw well in his sleep state. He wakes and is with a newfound confidence about his art and himself and believes he is the true masterpiece. It is a book sharing inspiration of a person with new confidence. The artist chooses himself over his drawings throughout, but recognizes he can incorporate himself in the mix at the end.
