Emily Swan and the Dream Pillow

11-year-old Emily Webster’s parents have decided to take a year off from their busy suburban life and move to an old farmhouse in Kansas. Emily is miserable in their new home, plopped down in the middle of nothing but wheat fields, far away from her former city life and friends. There’s no internet and they don’t even have a television or a phone! But one night Emily’s world changes when a star zooms out of the sky and into her room, appearing as a Star Lady. She tells Emily that even though she’s unhappy, a magical world lives inside her — she just doesn’t know how to find it. The Star Lady says she can help and gives Emily a Dream Pillow to use so they can stay in touch through dreams. When Emily decides to take a chance and use the Dream Pillow, her world opens up. Magical characters appear and guide her on an adventure of self-discovery. After Emily discovers a Swan Feather pen, she’s transformed from Emily Webster, a normal girl, into Emily Swan, a super-hero of words.

“Emily Swan and the Dream Pillow is a fun book about expanding our creative minds and tapping into the magic of life. Mary Peers takes us on a journey away from the frenetic pace of modern-day life and unveils the mysteries that can be discovered when we open our hearts and minds to the unknown.”

“This book has the wonderful combination of the world of fantasy with meaningful life lessons at its center. It is a reminder to all ages that our inner world of imagination and creativity needs time, and quiet to develop.”

“My 11-year-old daughter never enjoyed reading…until now!!! I read this book aloud to her and on the nights that I couldn’t, I caught her sneaking a chapter without me so that I had to catch up! The story captivated us, related to us, and provided a space for us that ignited conversations about the meanings of words, created magical visuals of scenes, and even got us singing! Living in a world of seemingly stolen imaginations, my pre-teen daughter’s took flight…thanks to Emily Swan.”

“I loved this book. It lightened my mood and sent my thoughts in a positive direction. There’s an Alice in Wonderland feeling about it, as we witness an ordinary technology immersed family move to a magical house and realm.”
