Yasuko and the Dream Eater

Yasuko loves making paper airplanes with her parents in the US. When she visits her grandmother in Japan, everything seems different, including folding the complicated origami crane. She starts having the same bad dream every night, so her grandmother suggests she call the dream eater for help. The dream eater devours Yasuko’s nightmare but is still hungry. Will Yasuko be able to stop it from gobbling up her good dream too? Advance Praise “This gentle story with its dreamy illustrations shares the loving connection between grandparents and their grandchildren, while celebrating differences in cultural experiences. Yasuko learns to trust her ability to overcome challenges and discovers that love and support are universal.” —Jane Nagle, retired MEd, Early Childhood Intervention Specialist, Sylvania Public Schools “In a world of ever-mixing cultures, Yasuko and the Dream Eater perfectly combines Japanese folklore with a modern twist. Yasuko, like many children, struggles to balance familial customs with those of their grandparents while tackling bedtime fears.” —Anita Pazner, MFA, author of The Topsy-Turvy Bus “Yasuko bravely faces her nightmares with the help of kindly Baku, the bad dream eater. This sweet and imaginative tale will delight young readers with its beautiful illustrations and gentle prose. The perfect bedtime story to comfort little ones having trouble falling asleep.” —Susan Dion, Library Specialist, Youth Services, Baldwin Public Library "Libraries and adults looking for multicultural stories that explore being part of two different cultures will find that Yasuko and the Dream Eater gives rise to many discussion points and insights." —D.
