Our Dreams
‘Our Dreams’ is a stunning picture book which is perfect for sharing at bedtime. Soothing text is accompanied by dreamy watercolour artwork, featuring sleepy creatures from cuddling pandas to snuggling sloths.
Rich purples with tinges of pink evoke evening skies creating a wonderfully calm feeling on every page. Children will enjoy naming all the animals shown peacefully sleeping and are sure to notice the creeping caterpillar which makes its way across several pages unheeded by all the slumbering creatures until it creates a cocoon on a branch and later emerges. A gatefold opens to reveal all the animals as the moths fly away.
The reassuring text encourages the idea that dreams are imaginative adventures, ‘a pile of stories’, to be enjoyed whilst they last, creating a positive atmosphere for bedtimes full of possibilities. A lovely book for sharing- sure to become a bedtime favourite!
