Reviews
"Ms. Johnson’s book is an engaging story perfect for young minds. …Johnson does a great job serving as her own illustrator. The pictures are simple, but well drawn. It is of vital importance that children of all races realize they are able to set and achieve goals. She allows her illustrations to plant the subtle idea that anyone can fulfill their dream. …I particularly appreciate the Fun Facts she included at the end of the story. This reference lists achievements of African American medical pioneers. The book also contains a certificate for goal settings. …I give this book an AACBWI A+."
—Magnolia Walker, African American Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (AACBWI)

“Last Night I Dreamt is an excellent children's book series that provides hope for children who dare to dream. …This series is a must read for children just starting to read and for children who want to think outside their box. Teachers and interactive parents will take advantage of the last page that asks its
readers to tell what are the different kinds of teachers, doctors, and musicians. I recommend these books for children ages 2 – 8.”
—Shiela Martina, Children's Author & Librarian, Walterboro, SC
