The Mission
Dream
A World's mission is to entertain, educate and inspire children.
Our products and programs are designed to ignite the spirit of
every child with self-esteem, confidence and discipline, and to
encourage critical thinking skills by providing children with
a deeper understanding
of the power that lies within them. The simple gifts
with which they were born - the ability to imagine and create.
"More important than teaching children what to think is teaching them how to think."
We believe in helping children connect with who they are and to understand that we’re all connected to each other.
We believe in showing them how to look at the world as a place filled with endless possibility.
We believe in teaching children how to believe in themselves and that their ideas are important.
We believe children need to know that their uniqueness is their greatest asset.
And.. We believe that showing children how to use their imagination and the power of creativity that already lies within them gives them the tools to shape their experience and make a difference in their own lives, and in the lives of others.
No matter where a child lives, no matter what their circumstances they have a creative power within them. Its up to us to teach them how to use this power - how to live, how to love and how to believe in their dreams."
The History
In 1994 Kids Creative Classics was born to make a difference in
children's lives. In its early years the label produced music and
activity books for children ages 4-10. Its first children's
release, A Child’s Spirit garnered a National Parenting Publications Award. Subsequent releases Happy Happy Kwanzaa and Peace In Our Land,
two educational book and music packages, earned multiple awards
including a Parents Choice Award, two National Parenting Publications
Awards, a Dr. Toy Award and an award from Parent Guide To Children's
Media.
In 2004, after the release
of it's award-winning signature package Dream A World, Kids Creative
Classics celebrated it’s 10th Anniversary by taking on a new face
and a new brand - Dream A World®.
In 2007, Dream A World® released its first award-winning hardcover
book series with music called Young Masters Little Wisdom Series.
With this release Dream A World® launched a new overall growth
strategy which included a multimedia division and development of
television projects, feature film, Internet programming and DVD
releases.
Early in 2009 Dream A World® announced the debut of it's first online series for children Young Masters Little Wisdom Adventures. The first episodes called Secrets of the Heart
feature the book’s narrator, African-American actress Elayn
J. Taylor as Saphinne. In fall of 2009 Dream A World’s
educational outreach officially took on non-profit status as Dream A
World Education, Inc., founded to promote and sponsor standards based
arts education programming for children. Its first program Secrets of the Heart, a six week residency program for children K-2 is currently working in low income schools in Los Angeles.
For over 15 years we have presented programming for children ages 5-10
through workshops and performances which have included the Los Angeles
Times sponsored Kid City, Festival of Books, International Child Art
Foundation in Washington D.C., International Children's Foundation in
Los Angeles, Corrine Seeds UCLA Elementary, Los Angeles School
District, Clark County School District in Nevada, Montessori Schools
and at Borders Bookstores.
In October of 2010 we are proud to release three new titles from the Young Masters Little Wisdom Series,
in a new larger format, with enhanced CDs. As Dream A World®
expands we consult with the best elementary educators to develop and
expand curricula and to inform product development so that we can
continue to offer teachers, parents and children the best in
educational resources.
“Children need to recognize the power they hold to make a difference.”

Author Spotlight
In
1994 Grammy® Award-winning songwriter Bunny Hull was asked to start
a youth group. It was called the “Apple Corps”.
It’s purpose was to find simple ways to inspire the lives of
children 4-8 with ideas like connection, friendship, kindness and
creativity - to facilitate an elementary understanding of the
universal principles which we all hold in common. She
didn’t know it at the time, but exploring how to do this would
change her life forever. It began with writing a few
children’s songs and over time it evolved into creating activity
books with stories. By 2002 she was dubbed “Musical
Ambassador to children” by L.A. Parent Magazine for the way she
enlightened and connected with children. Today she is an
award-winning children’s author and composer, but prior to this
she received over 20 Gold and platinum awards and a Grammy® Award
for performances and compositions in mainstream music.
Hull’s beginnings as a top vocalist include work on more than 200 albums with greats including Michael Jackson (Thriller). MORE >
