The Dream Keeper

The illustrations are honestly beautiful, very dreamy and calming. Some pages don’t have any words at all, which the kids actually loved. We took our time with those pages, just looking, talking, and making up our own thoughts about what was happening. It sparked a little chat about dreams, the good ones and the scary ones. * vanesajosevski.author via instagram *
With Anna Walker’s rich, intricate illustrations, this is a book to return to again and again, and a reminder that picture books are often a child’s first experience of art. * lovefourreading via instagram *
The idea of a Dream Keeper is in itself, beautiful, compelling and reassuring. In Walker’s hands it becomes a masterwork. The images are literally breathtaking with layers of colour, meaning and texture - all meticulously crafted in traditional media to combine and become a story for the ages - and for all ages. the overall message of the story is clear, strong and firm: that it’s possible to overcome fear. That in this world, there is always light, and that together we can look after each other. The Dream Keeper is stunningly beautiful and beautifully stunning. It offers reassurance and hope. I am in love! * Kids Book Review *
