Dream away, dream away, sleepyhead, love
Set sail for the ocean of stars up above.
You be the captain and I'll be your mate.
We'll journey together, the heavens await.

From author Julia Durango and new illustrator Robert Goldstrom, a story of the dreams that are possible as you drift to sleep. A father and son venture into a dream and encounter some new and familiar faces and along the way discover the possibilities the universe can hold.

Accompanied by Robert Goldstrom's sweeping paintings, Dream Away is the perfect combination of dreams and reality.
