Book Information & Summary
Written and illustrated by Yang Sun
The award-winning book in the 2nd Sakyejul picture book competition.
The way to deal with fear is fresh. It never deletes or fights against the fear. And it never hides or runs away. The writer creates the relationship and plays with the fear. She waits, approaches, and becomes one in the end. There may not be the story which handles the nightmare in such a silent and smooth way.
This is the book I want to read before going to bed right by my side.
It is very common that children have nightmares while asleep, because their fear, worries, anxieties are expressed in their dream. They sometimes are chased by somebody or meet scary monsters, or suddenly get under dangerous circumstances. Having a nightmare is quite a natural process while growing up. The picture book, ‘With the Moon and the Dream’, shows how children accept nightmares in a fresh way. The child doesn’t fight against his dream represented by characters, instead, he slowly builds the relationship with his dream. By treating bad dreams as a friend, not as an enemy, children will be able to learn how to face with fearsome feelings in a smooth way.
The dream we make and take care of A warm story, a cute twist
The world in the dream entering with the moon is described as black and white. The child colors a dark wall with the moon and builds a house for the dream to rest comfortably. The child takes care of his dream with his favorite items such as books, candies, flowers and trees, drawings, and origami. When he takes care of his dream, trees grow up with lots of candy fruit, a beautiful flower comes out, and magical moments such as the sun rising and setting, stars glittering in the night sky appear. Items like a small door described in vintage style, a low ladder, and a baggage containing the moon inside create secretive mood. The writer has created a lovely picture book based on warm stories to comfort children adding cute twists. It is such a good picture book for children who have nightmares every night with worries before going to bed.
