Editorial Reviews

Review
"Adorable" Good Day NY "Darling" --The NY Daily News

"Easy for a preschooler to understand, and great for beginning readers to read aloud. After I read the book to my son, he shouted a child's most approving words: 'Read it again!'" --NY Metro Parents Magazine

I feel wonderful about the opportunity to do something that I know is going to help young people and children realize their dreams. - Gloria Gaynor. I think it's very important for children to hear and know that there are grown-ups who believe that if you work hard and strive for something, it's possible to have your dreams come true. Growing Up with Loukoumi is the sweetest book and my grandchildren responded to it very strongly. The messages of the book are worth saying. - Olympia Dukakis. To be successful in anything you have to believe in yourself. You have to believe that it's possible, that anything's possible. From a very young age, we need to plant the seed in our young people that if they have faith and believe that the impossible is possible, then their dreams can come true. - Alexis Christoforous. I think more and more young parents are really being even more supportive of their kids taking risks and going after their dreams and being very supportive. I'm so excited about this awesome project! - Constantine Maroulis. --Celebrity Narrators

Product Description
In Growing Up With Loukoumi by Nick Katsoris, a lamb named Loukoumi (Greek for sweet ) struggles with what she wants to be when she grows up. She considers becoming a firefighter, a judge or a doctor. As she walks along, she encounters her friends including Gus the bear, Fistiki the cat, Dean the dog and Marika the monkey. Each friend explains to Loukoumi that she can be whatever her heart desires. If she wants to be a singing star, a policeman or even an Oscar winning actress, then she can do it! The key is that she must always believe in herself, stay positive and work hard, because if you believe in yourself your dreams will come true! The CD version of the book (included) features the voices of singing legend Gloria Gaynor, (Grammy Award winner for I Will Survive) Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis, national CBS correspondent and MarketWatch anchor Alexis Christoforous, American Idol Heartthrob Constantine Maroulis of American Idol fame, and Guiding Light actor Frank Dicopoulos. Each voices a character that encourages Loukoumi to reach for her dreams, which is especially meaningful when being heard from such inspirational and successful adults. The package also includes an original song from Gloria Gaynor called, Believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent message for children, March 8, 2007
The important message of "If you beleive in yourself, you can become whatever you want to be" is so simple yet essential. Children will love to travel this journey with the darling little lamb Loukoumi, and learn something valuable in the process. A great book for parents to read with their kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can be what you dream, November 7, 2006
This is a favorite in my classroom! Loukoumi explores many jobs, from farmer to singer, in this sweet story. The CD features many successful Greek people and is beautifully done. Rocker Constantine Maroulis as Farmer Gus is priceless!
