[.ca] Debbie's Dream (ISBN 0861630165)

A childhood favorite:
One winter, Debbie finds herself bedridden with a cold. She has a dream of dancing with a snowman, who invites her to go to the land of the winter king. She is understandably upset when she wakes up and finds that there is no palace of ice or trees of silver, but is comforted by her Grandpa's words "dreams sometimes come true - but not always in the way we expect." Her Aunt invites her to come and see the "trees of silver" in her garden in spring time... Debbie can hardly wait. 18 gorgeously illustrated pages of story by Belgian artistic geniuses Gilbert Delahaye and Marcel Marlier, provide a heart moving backdrop to a story all about the changing of seasons, patience and holding onto the joy of dreams. This will always be one of my favorites and I hope to share it with my kids. My binding with this ISBN is a 12"x9" hardcover. Other books in this series that I liked are: Debbie Learns to Cook and Debbie's Birthday Party.
