A New Book From New Voices Publishing
Dreams Can Take You Anywhere
"Last Night I Left Earth for Awhile is a perfect story for engaging children in thoughtful conversation about their dreams. The pages are filled with colorful representations of a child's mind. The story is easy to read and playful with its words. I find pleasure in reading to children, and when I find a book like this one, it makes it all the better."
- Janice Blais, Center Director, KinderCare Learning Centers
As a young child readies for bed one night, his mother gently kisses him good night. "Your dreams can take you anywhere," she tells him as she tucks him in real tight.
The dream world is often a magical place for children. In Last Night I Left Earth for Awhile, author and illustrator Natalie L. Brown-Douglas enters the mind and imagination of a young child as he sleeps. The reader journeys with the child through lush jungles and into deep space.
Colorful illustrations highlight the fun-filled and humorous escapades that continue through the night. In the morning when the child awakes, he marvels at his mother's certainty that, once asleep, dreams do take you anywhere.
About the Author/Illustrator: Natalie L. Brown-Douglas was pursuing her art degree when the idea for this book originated. She works as a pre-school teacher and lives in Massachusetts with her husband and stepson.
