so-soI read this for my spiritual direction class, and came into it very skeptical—dream work has always seemed a little too woo-woo for me, to be honest. However, I came away from the book with my skepticism assuaged a bit… its idea of dream work as “peeking over the shoulder” of the unconscious drew me in and helped me move past some of my skepticism. While I don‘t see myself engaging with dreams and active imagination ⤵️

Clouds, mountains, sunrises & sunsets always bring me joy.
Today was definitely a Monday & I‘m headed off to bed to start the whole day over tomorrow.
so-soI was going to say this may be one for the Kelly Clarkson fans. Then I read @LibrarianRyan ‘s review. So maybe not.
The illustrations are lovely - lots to explore in each one. But both the story and the storytelling are just… there… really. I‘m afraid it felt very much like what you‘d expect a celebrity picture book to feel like. #bbrc
so-so3 ⭐ I question how much help Kelly Clarkson had on this book. One it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. Except for the lullaby. The lullaby sounds like Kelly Clarkson. This book has a decent cadence and rhymes well, but it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. I especially say this because of how big they‘ve written Grammy award winning artist on the cover and how her biography lists all of her accolades in the music business.
pickI love the character of Doctor Strange. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the plot of the book. I rated this a 4 out of 5 stars.
Not the best brain book I‘ve read recently. Not the best book about dreams I‘ve read. I feel like the author might be trying to dumb down the info and the writing is boring.
pickMy little dumpling takes a literal turn. It reminded me of Into the Night Kitchen.
pickI liked this one, with a message of following your dreams. Yamaguchi‘s text has a cadence to it that flows very well for a read aloud. The illustrations are delightful. The end had me chuckle a little. #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterD
