An emotive and exquisitely imagined journey about those small but powerful acts of courage, that can lead us to finding strength, hope and light.

Beyond the city and over the sea is a forest of dreams. At the edge of the forest lives a turtle – the Dream Keeper. In a small boat, the turtle sets off on a tumultuous journey to deliver dreams to sleeping souls in the nearby city. Meanwhile, a young girl, scared in the night by the shadows in her room, finds comfort in her toys ... but cannot sleep. As both stories unfold side by side, the girl and the turtle must each harness their courage and overcome their fears as their worlds collide in the most wonderful, magical way.

Brimming with luminous and dreamlike scenes, Anna Walker's picture book is a visual sensation that articulates the boundless power of inner strength, and will offer companionship and reassurance for young children as they drift off to sleep.
