    dreams in a jar by kate staves and karen bunting

    What if you could keep a little piece of your dreams to hold on to forever?

     

    Put on your favourite pyjamas and get ready for a magical journey through the land of dreams, collecting trinkets and souvenirs as we go!

    In this story, a flower isn’t just a flower…it’s a pixie hat!  A rusty old bolt isn’t just a rusty old bolt…it’s a piece of a rocket ship that blasted past a star!  Let’s collect up all of these precious treasures together and keep them somewhere safe…I know, how about in a special jar?

    A sweet, rhyming adventure story to share with your little dreamer.

     

    A note from Kate...

    For both me and Karen, publishing a children's book was a dream come true.  I still get butterflies in my stomach every time I flick through it.  This book is my 'jar' - holding it in my hands feels as if I am holding a piece of my own dream!

    What I love the most about this book is the little talks I now have with my two girls before bed about what they plan to dream about and what they might bring back to keep forever.  I hope that this book brings a little bit of magic to bedtime and encourages children to have fun with their imagination!
