This book will remain in a very special place for me. It's about dreaming. Not literal dreaming, mind you. But that innocence that contains the possibility that anything is possible to do, if you only have the guts to try. I love that this book was entirely written in poetry. In a few places you could tell it was forced a little, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. The illustrations are BEA-utiful.
It's wide and about a hundred pages, so it took a few sittings to read. It's a little episodic, moving from one adventure to another.
I feel like this book is farewell-ing me to adulthood and wishing me luck. It's very inspiring, and mentions how sometimes when there's too much strictness, our imagination dies.
A very sweet bedtime read.
