“I decided to write this book to honor Frank J. Guarini, former United States Congressman (New Jersey), who inspires me to dream big. ‘Dream Big Dream Small’ highlights the importance of hopes and dreams no matter how big or small through an endearing story about a young girl living in New York,” Ruffino said. The book was kid approved.
