Magical Dreams and Sewing Machines

By Maria O'Connor

14-year-old Elena has grown up in a world of fabric and fairy lights, where her Nonna's fashion atelier feels like the most magical place on earth. It's a place of shimmering silks, swirling gowns, and secrets stitched into every seam - where buttons hold memories and dreams dance across the cutting table.

Nonna is bold, playful, and full of spark, even when her hands shake and her stories come slower than they used to. With Nonna by her side, anything feels possible.

But as things begin to change, Elena starts to wonder where she truly belongs - and how to hold on to the magic she's always known.

A joyful, heartwarming tale about growing up, finding your voice, and discovering that sometimes, the best dreams are the ones you sew yourself.
