About the Book

When the lights go out, an ordinary bedroom becomes a portal to Dreamland, and the whole solar system is waiting on the other side. Hand in hand, a child and their grown-up set off across the planets, and with each new destination the dreamer grows a little braver. That courage comes home with them, into the morning and into every goodbye that used to feel just a little too big. A warm, rhyming bedtime story about imagination, connection, and the truth that no goodnight is ever really goodbye.
