The American Dream of Braven Young

Braven just wants some time to play catch with his dad. But his dad – an important politician – is always busy working to "save America"...whatever that means. Struggling to stay awake at dad's desk one night, Braven dreams about being completely free in Washington, DC. Hundreds of kids. No adults...anywhere. Finally, he is "free" to do whatever he wants and the National Mall is his playground. But, soon, things start spiraling out of control. As The American Dream of Braven Young races to its imaginative and inspiring conclusion, Braven begins looking for the one person he knows he needs to help...his dad. Along the way, Braven learns valuable lessons about freedom from Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Thomas Jefferson - all echoing his mother's wise words: "Freedom is far more than doing whatever you want. Freedom is doing what is right."
