Book Description
Tom's life, once steeped in the ordinary, was forever changed when he stumbled upon the mystical power to navigate the fantastical dreamscape, a place where his wildest imaginations took flight. This newfound realm became his canvas for dreams, a sanctuary where he could engage in conversations with talking animals and embark on quests that defied the bounds of reality. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of an epic saga that would intertwine the realms of wakefulness and dream in an intricate dance. Venturing further into this dream realm fantasy, Tom met with extraordinary creatures: winged lions trailing stardust and sprites that danced with a lightness that filled the air with melodic laughter. However, amid the wonder, a shadow loomed. The ethereal Dream Keepers, guardians of this realm, whispered of a menace – The Dream Thief. This entity, a sinister spectre born from the abyss of forgotten nightmares, sought to harness the innocent dreams of children for dark purposes. It was on a day, bathed in the serene light of the afternoon sun, that Tom's adventure took a pivotal turn. Drawn to a secluded corner of the library, he discovered a tome unlike any other, hidden away from the passage of time. This book, The Dreamer's Code, was a key that unlocked the gateway to realms uncharted. The library, once a place of quiet contemplation, became the threshold to a journey beyond imagination, where the line between the real and the fantastical blurred. As Tom delved into the pages of The Dreamer's Code, he uncovered a prophecy woven into the very essence of dreams. This ancient lore revealed a time when dreams were not mere figments of imagination but powerful forces capable of moulding reality itself. According to the prophecy, a chosen Dreamer would arise to venture deep into the heart of the Dream Realm, challenging the darkness that threatened to unbalance the world of dreams and wakefulness. Tom's journey through the dream thieves and keepers, amidst the backdrop of a talking animals fantasy, sets the stage for an epic quest to safeguard the innocence of dreams and uphold the delicate harmony of this enchanting dreamscape.

Dreamers
Author: Yuyi Morales
Publisher: Holiday House
ISBN: 0823441253
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
We are resilience. We are hope. We are dreamers. Yuyi Morales brought her hopes, her passion, her strength, and her stories with her, when she came to the United States in 1994 with her infant son. She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn't come empty-handed. From the author-illustrator of Bright Star, Dreamers is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history. It's the story of finding your way in a new place, of navigating an unfamiliar world and finding the best parts of it. In dark times, it's a promise that you can make better tomorrows. This lovingly-illustrated picture book memoir looks at the myriad gifts migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It's a story about family. And it's a story to remind us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own strengths wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless. The lyrical text is complemented by sumptuously detailed illustrations, rich in symbolism. Also included are a brief autobiographical essay about Yuyi's own experience, a list of books that inspired her (and still do), and a description of the beautiful images, textures, and mementos she used to create this book. A parallel Spanish-language edition, Soñadores, is also available. Winner of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award!

"Eerie, twisty, fast, and funny, Dream Boy will forever change the way you see your dreams—and your nightmares."—Lois Metzger, author of A Trick of the Light When Dreams Start Coming True... It was all just brain waves, I thought—disconnected, like the notebook my friend Talon keeps. She draws a line down the middle; on the right she writes everything she remembers about a dream, and on the left notes about what's happening in real life. Reality on one side, dreams on the other, a clear line between the two. But it turns out there are no clear lines—just a jumble of what is and what might be. And all of it is real. How Do You Know What's Real? Annabelle's dreams have started coming to life. Which is great when you're dreaming about a gorgeous guy whose purpose in life is to win the Best Boyfriend Ever Award. And then Dream Boy walks into your science class. Talk about the perfect date to homecoming. But not all of Annabelle's dreams are so...friendly. And when the dream stops, the nightmare begins... "The authors expertly weave the real world and the mysterious world of dreams—where we access our deepest desires—in a perfect blend."—Eric Orloff, author of In Dreams
