Amelie loves everything about bedtime: wrapping up in her favorite blanket, listening to bedtime stories, and most of all, dreaming. But finding her dreams is not always easy, and she often has to set out in search of them. As Amelie ventures into the surreal world that lingers behind her closed eyes, she overcomes cold toes, too-bright moonshine, tangled blankets, hidden shadows, and ticking clocks to finally uncover her favorite dreams.
From illustrator and production designer Noah Klocek comes a breathtaking depiction of a half-asleep landscape sure to lure readers into a dreamland of their own.
"This isn’t your typical bedtime book about a child who resists going to sleep. No, 'Amelie loved everything about bedtime.' The girl snuggles up close to her father to listen to stories and doesn’t protest or stall his departure because 'more than anything, she loved to dream.' The tension in the story arises because 'her dreams were often hard to find'.... Amelie searches for dreams in varied landscapes, leading readers to wonder if this searching is itself the dream she chases." — Kirkus Reviews
