<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A child and parent journey through life together--always remembering that even if the other is far away they can meet in their dreams"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A heartwarming text honoring the ever-evolving relationship of a parent and child across time, with visually striking art by bestselling and award-winning artist Rafael López.</b> <i>Each evening when the sun has set, </i><i>as nighttime casts a starry net, I'll </i><i>hitch a ride on moonbeams, </i><i>and meet you in your dreams.</i> This poetic and tender story celebrates the parent-and-child bond in its many forms and offers gentle assurance of love across a lifetime. Two parents' dreams of the future with their children--from early dependence for nourishment and basic needs, to the parent as home base for a child in later life--mirror an always-changing but unbreakable relationship. Written in lyrical rhyme and accompanied by breathtaking art by the incomparable Rafael López, <i>I'll Meet You in Your Dreams </i>affirms that parental love is a constant force, transcending boundaries of space and time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "Combining lyrical words with vibrant paintings and occasionally rotating spreads, Young and López weave a rich tapestry that honors the process of children's self-determination over time."--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>* "Fresh, bright spreads by López incorporate folk elements such as stylized leaves and flowers. As the children strike out on their own, the text nods to differing life paths, portraying one new adult pursuing their passion in music and one starting a family of their own, in a bedtime fantasy of love, possibility, and acceptance."--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jessica Young </b>was raised and grew up in Northern Ontario and is the author of several picture books including <i>My Blue Is Happy </i>(a<i></i>Charlotte Zolotow Highly Commended Title and recipient of the Marion Vannett Ridgway Award); <i>Play This Book</i> and <i>Pet This Book</i>; and <i>A Wish Is a Seed</i>.
