Overview

Set along Galveston's sun-drenched coastline, Galveston Dreams invites young readers ages 48 to wander across warm sands alive with hidden wonders. In this enchanting seaside adventure, tide pools hum with melody as music-loving fish perform from the gentle waves, and vibrant umbrellas dance in the breeze like colorful kites. Every grain of sand holds a surprise-a pastel shell glimmering in the sun or a sandcastle tower that springs from a child's imagination. With gentle humor and lyrical prose, this tale celebrates the spark of curiosity that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary discoveries. Painterly illustrations bring each magical vignette to life, from swirling tide pools to the grand sandcastle overlooking the shore. As readers follow the tide's rhythm, they learn that courage can be found in the smallest treasures and that community grows through shared laughter and kindhearted gestures. Perfect for sunny afternoons at the beach, classroom story circles, or cozy bedtime readings, this heartwarming adventure reminds us that wonder waits just beyond the next wave.

Author Information

James R. Schaller is a Houstonbased creative writer and visual storyteller whose painter's eye and poet's touch bring real places to life. He weaves playful, inclusive narratives that whisk young readers into sunlit worlds of wonder, celebrating curiosity, community, and the joy of discovery in every line. He balances technical precision with heartfelt warmth, conceiving and executing every element of his picture books-from drafting lyrical text and creating his own illustrations to designing cover layouts and polishing production files-so that each page reflects a singular, seamless vision. When he's not shaping stories or fine-tuning production work, he finds inspiration in sunrise beach walks, Texas art galleries, and the small marvels of everyday life. He lives near Galveston Bay with his family, where every dawn promises a new story waiting to be told.
