Her extraordinary story unfolds during her childhood in Holland, where he happy life of ice skating and dancing changes with the harsh realities of World War II. She daydreams about who she will become when the war ends.In her fantasies, Audrey enrolls in a premier ballet school and turns to acting, singing, and dancing. One day she is cast in a film that makes her a star. She eventually sets fame aside to focus on raising a family and working with children in need, which she felt was her most important accomplishment. Little Audrey's Daydream, written by her son and daughter-in-law, offers a beacon of hope during difficult times, showing young readers that, with spirit and determination, dreams can come true.
