dream CRUMB

By Lakely James

dream CRUMB is a charming narrative about following your dreams and the amazing life you can create by listening to what's inside your heart. The story follows a cute clump of green gunk found in the eye crevice of a young girl upon waking. This crumb playfully personifies a dream come to life, and the girl is encouraged to let it guide her throughout the day, reminding readers that your biggest dreams can come true if you follow your heart.

The nostalgic tale takes place in Little Beach, Port Stanley, a beloved Canadian beach town. It follows a family as they soak in the pleasures of a summer day in port. Illustrated in a style reminiscent of classic vintage storytelling, the narrative encourages children to dream big, share their dreams with others, and plant the seeds of their hearts' wildest desires in the sands of life.

While the book takes readers on a relatable summer journey that children will love, it also explores themes of friendship, manifestation, and a mother's grappling desire to hold on and let go of those perfect life moments she knows can't last forever.
