Description
FOUR STARRED REVIEWS! • From the award-winning author of Town Is by the Sea comes a beautiful and meditative story about seeing the world around you in a new way.
A girl wakes up from a dream she can''t shake.
Her head is full of clouds.
When she goes outside, the things she normally doesn''t pay much attention to suddenly reveal their beauty: the plants growing in the cracks of the sidewalk, the shimmering puddles, the notes from a violin drifting in the air. She revels in this strangeness of the familiar, and eventually her dream comes back to her in all its surrealness.
When she meets a friend, she feels solid and connected again, part of the world — but she doesn''t lose the gifts that this strange morning gave her: the quietly profound wonder of the everyday and the joy of being present.
Joanne Schwartz''s lyrical text and Afsaneh Sanei''s gorgeous art are a dreamy pairing that will reward readers with something special in every read.
