Author Description

With 42 original poems by author Rick Telander and an equal number of full-page, full-color illustrations from 42 different artists from four countries, <i>Sweet Dreams</i> is a beautiful, easy-to-read poetry collection in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, <i>A Child’s Garden of Verses.</i>  <br><br> Started when Telander was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this book<i></i>is a work of caring for young boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod.   <br><br><i>Sweet Dreams </i>will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe any child before sleep.  This book<i></i>is a gift to all children, the way the best illustrated words can be. <br><br>
