This is a book about dreaming and what dreams actually mean. Five-year-old Cleo has very vivid dreams, and she tells her
yiayia
-her Greek grandmother-all about them. Thalia Alexiou has chosen three of them for this book. In the first, Cleo (who lives in a big city with her mother and father and her little brother Nikolas) dreams of flying through the sky, where she is surrounded by a cloud of golden dust! But what does that mean? The second dream is very scary-apple trees are chasing poor Cleo! What could that mean? And in the third dream, she saves her mother and father by grabbing the hair of a witch who's threatening them, and throwing her out of the house. How could a little girl do that?
The Three Dreams
tenderly answers these questions, revealing the meaning of powerful dreams for Cleo. . .and for all children, because they all have wonderful dreams and scary ones and brave ones, and all other kinds of dreams as well.
