Meet the Author:
Deedee Cummings is a professional dreamer. She is also an author of eighteen books, therapist, attorney, and mom from Louisville, Kentucky.
Cummings founded Make A Way Media in 2014 after struggling to find books with characters who looked like her own children and an extreme lack of stories that reflected their life experiences. Books published by Make A Way focus on hope, diversity, social justice, and therapeutic skills for children and adults. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, Forbes, NPR, USA Today, Essence Magazine, Psych Central, Well+Good, and The EveryGirl, among other media outlets.
In 2021, she was appointed to the Kentucky Early Childhood Advisory Council by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear acknowledging her decades long service to the children and families of Kentucky.
Deedee is also the founder of The Louisville Book Festival which celebrates its fifth year in 2024 and hosts over 150 authors and presenters from all over the country. She was inspired to work to highlight and celebrate a culture of reading in her community after working as an in-home therapist and visiting homes of children who had no books.
Cummings believes literacy is a fundamental human right. Her work highlights inspiring messages that remind us all it is never too late to begin again. She is currently working to adapt her latest children’s series inspired by the life of her daughter, Kayla Pecchioni (a Broadway actress) to a Broadway musical. Deedee recently founded the Make A Way Mindset program to teach the unshakable mindset she has developed as an entrepreneur of thirty years.
Her next book is her first book written for adults called How to Dream and will be released in October 2024.

My Review:
I have read many Deedee Cummings' children's books and was pleasantly surprised to find that she has written a self help book for adults. I found How to Dream: A Motivational Guide to a Life of Hope, Success, and Freedom to be the encouragement I have been needing for awhile. It is broken down into ten chapters with each chapter includes: sayings from well known celebrities, commentary, questions to be answered with lines provided, advice, tips, and many inspiring quotes. My favorite part of the book was the one page, large font sized quotes. They definitely popped out the most and made me think. One being, "Growth is motion. Working on your mind is an important part of putting your dream in motion." Another one, "If you are reading these words, take this as your sign from the universe that you were destined to live a big life filled with big dream." These two quotes really resonated with me. I have been working on my own growth as a person and giving myself more positively, while finding my own dreams.
I am giving How to Dream: A Motivational Guide to a Life of Hope, Success, and Freedom a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read inspiring self help books. I would love to read more like this from Deedee Cummings in the future.
I received a paperback copy of Deedee Cummings' How to Dream: A Motivational Guide to a Life of Hope, Success, and Freedom from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
