I enjoyed this book very much. Although it’s a short read, it is full of delightful details about the world of dream-givers, their role in people’s lives, and their method of giving dreams. Littlest One is fun, inquisitive, and brave. Her curiosity and confidence pushed her to go beyond what she was asked for even though she’s a neophyte. Her traits make her likable.

The story is narrated using different perspectives in a continuous flow that is easy to follow, revealing the themes of finding hope, conquering the unknown, and acceptance, which balance out the heaviness of another theme of the story-- domestic abuse.

Lois Lowry is really good at creating a unique world and characters.

The first couple chapters were a bit slowed and didnt peak my interest but it became more adventurous. I love Littlest and the idea of little things creating your dreams!

3.75 out of 5 Stars: It is an interesting idea of how dreams and nightmares come to be. I love the empathy it shows for children in the foster care system. This is a story where it can show children that dreaming isn't scary. That curiosity and helping others is always a good thing.
