Only a Dream

By: Meyer, Susan

Only a Dream is a soothing, rhyming picture book that helps children face nighttime fears with courage, creativity, and calm.

When a child discovers that nightmare monsters are "simply pictures painted by fears and anxiety," everything begins to change. With gentle guidance, young readers learn simple, comforting tools-like keeping a dream journal, flipping a magical pillow, talking with a trusted adult, and even changing their dreams from within.

Perfect for ages 4-8, this warm and reassuring story supports emotional resilience, imagination, and peaceful bedtime routines.

Written and illustrated by a former kindergarten teacher, meditation teacher, and grandmother, Only a Dream also includes:
