Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the isolation of a long term illness, the frustration of physical limitations, or a vivid imagination that sometimes tips into anxiety. Marianne, confined to bed with a fever, discovers that the drawings she creates by day become the reality of her dreams at night. This psychological fantasy explores the boundary between creative power and the fear of losing control over one's own thoughts. It is an excellent choice for children aged 9 to 12 who enjoy spooky, atmospheric stories that acknowledge the darker, more complex emotions of childhood like resentment and helplessness. Parents will find it a thoughtful tool for discussing how our inner world affects our perspective on reality.
