Dreamland

Bedtime surroundings mingle with dream imagery as a little girl drifts into peaceful slumber.

Amelie loves everything about bedtime: wrapping up in her favorite blanket, listening to bedtime stories, and most of all, dreaming. But finding her dreams is not always easy, and she often has to set out in search of them. As Amelie ventures into the surreal world that lingers behind her closed eyes, she overcomes cold toes, too-bright moonshine, tangled blankets, hidden shadows, and ticking clocks to finally uncover her favorite dreams. From illustrator and production designer Noah Klocek comes a breathtaking depiction of a half-asleep landscape sure to lure readers into a dreamland of their own.This title skillfully communicates the persistence of Amelie’s search with text and detailed images that reveal the adventurous energy and imagination of a young child. A recommended first purchase for all libraries.
