"Upside Down Dreams is an incredibly moving and empowering book that truly captures the imagination of young girls. From the very beginning, the story is full of heart and emotion, and it's impossible not to be deeply touched by the journey of the main character.
Personally, my wife and I read the book to our daughter and we both shed tears of joy and hope. We were both moved by the book's message and the strength of the main character.
Overall, Upside Down Dreams is a beautiful and empowering book that I would highly recommend to any young girl looking for a story that speaks to her heart and encourages her to chase her dreams."

"I just received my copy of Upside Down Dreams in the mail and it did not disappoint! Very well written in kid-friendly language and the illustrations are phenomenal! It’s the cutest inspirational story and it’s perfect for a wide range of ages! I am actually thinking of waking my daughter up from nap early because I can’t wait to share it with her! No, I’m not drunk; it’s that good! ⭐️"

"I purchased this book to support the phenomenal author, as a woman veteran myself it was an easy YES to purchase a book that teaches my daughter that “even the sky ISN’T the limit”! ✈️ 🥰
I will be buying several more for all my coworkers with school-aged children as it isn’t just good for little girls. My son liked the illustrations and the story line reinforcing that achievements and successes aren’t limited by gender! 👧🏻👦🏻"

What’s Your Callsign?
Inspired by the fighter-pilot tradition of earning a callsign, this story turns an embarrassing mistake into a lesson in belonging, resilience, and learning to own every part of your story.

5/5
"In the second installment of the adventures of Lilly Padilly, Lilly learns to overcome failure and embrace her mistake and resultant ’Callsign’ as a badge of honor.
Author Michelle “MACE” Curran, helps take relatable experiences from adulthood, and apply them to anyone, of any age. We’re fortunate to have a storyteller such as “MACE”, and equally fortunate to have a role model for all Children, especially Girls. My Granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed “Upside Down Dreams”, and I’m excited to share the next chapter with her. A ‘must have’ for any child that dares to dream big."

"As a lover of the first book, the second one only made me fall in love with the characters even more. As a child, I always wanted to become a fighter pilot as my dad was in the Navy and would always encourage me to do whatever my heart desired. This book was so well written and you can tell that Michelle ‘MACE’ Curran put a lot of effort and love into every detail in both her books! Loved it!!!"
