🚀 DREAM BIG with Tonee Shelton's Life Changing Children's BookDream Big & Make It Happen! 📚✨Author Tonee Shelton (@TonyWithTwoE) is on a mission to inspire young dreamers with her latest children’s book, Dream Big: A Poem for Young Dreamers. But her journey as a writer is just as powerful as the message she shares. Here’s what you need to know about her incredible story:📝 Born to Write – From childhood, Tonee was a storyteller. As an only child, creativity became her best friend, leading her to poetry, journaling, and eventually, self-publishing.📚 From Poetry to Purpose – She started with poetry, self-publishing her first book In Search of Freedom in 2021, and never looked back—releasing new works every year!🎤 Finding Her Voice – A spoken word performance in 2023 changed everything. The response was electric, inspiring her to turn her words into a children’s book to empower young dreamers.💡 Why Literacy Matters – "Reading is power," Tonee emphasizes. Historically, literacy has been a tool of both oppression and liberation. To her, books are keys to freedom and self-determination.📜The BIG Discussion with Tonee B Shelton📜Introduction & Background-00:00📜Journey into Writing-02:27📜Inspiration & Love for Reading-05:20📜Importance of Literacy-07:47📜Creation of Dream Big-10:11📜Challenges as an Author-15:05📜Philosophy on Dreaming Big-18:40📜No One is Coming to Save You-24:13📖 No One Is Coming to Save You – Her other book is a bold reminder: if you want something, you have to make it happen.
