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!
