About the Book Challenging gender stereotyping of characters, this book proves that dragons, aliens and even dinosaurs, can be female! Book Synopsis When elephant Claudia finds a magic lamp and rubs it, a genie appears... But wait, the genie is female! Claudia goes on a great adventure and meets a dragon, an alien and a dinosaur... But what if all these were female too? Review Quotes Claudias Dream inspires female empowerment and encourages young readers not to make assumptions based on initial impressions. The main characters awareness of gender stereotypes is apparent but does not overshadow the whimsical nature of the story. - Seattle Book Review I do think that for a simple story book about an elephant meeting interesting creatures in her dreams, adding in this element of gender is a positive opening for conversations and deeper thoughts about our own assumptions and prejudices. - NetGalley-Educator The language is simple and its a nice, soft-sell message about gender expectations and girl power. - Youth Services Book Review
