Reach for this book when your child is transitioning to a big kid bed or feeling anxious about the dark. It is a perfect choice for children who find comfort in special objects or those who have a vivid imagination that sometimes keeps them awake at night. Through the lens of a beautiful handmade quilt, the story validates a child's attachment to the past while encouraging them to find wonder in their surroundings. The book follows a young girl as she examines the patches of her new quilt, each piece made from fabric of her old clothes and curtains. As she falls asleep, the quilt transforms into a sprawling landscape where she searches for her lost stuffed dog. This gentle narrative uses creativity and memory to bridge the gap between daytime security and nighttime dreams. It is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary students who are building confidence in their own independence and bravery.
