Sample Text from The Dream Pillow
When the stars are out and the moon swings in the sky, and the light in my room is low, things are different.
The pirate puppet waves his sword. The mango tree bends its branches. Even my teddy becomes a different sort of bear.
I keep very still in my cave of blankets or I call,
“Maaamaaa! Daaaddyyy!” or I jump into their bed.
<End of page 3>
