Dream Friends

* “Byun’s debut establishes this young artist as a remarkably polished talent. Her illustrations are the book’s raison d’être. . . . Byun’s warm, grainy spreads have the look of lino prints, and her detailed drawing creates an atmosphere of visual abundance. . . . Combined with an instinctive knowledge of objects that please children, Byun has created a diminutive paradise, a bedtime destination that children will want to visit again and again.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The unusual color palette, swirling peach and gold and violet and turquoise during the fantasy scenes, sets this book apart, as do debut author Byun’s textured, retro-style illustrations. A visual wonderland from an artist to watch.” — Booklist

“Soft sunset colors and unusual imagery welcome readers into a child’s dream world. . . . Swirly, expressive spot and full-bleed art. . . . This gentle story celebrates imagination and bravery in new circumstances.” — School Library Journal
