When My Baby
Dreams
by
Adele Enersen
Babies sleep a lot.
What do they dream?
Mother of newborn Mila uses
photographic images of her
baby sleeping to imagine the
world her daughter visits
while sleeping. Fabric,
toys and items are arranged to
create fantasy worlds.
Phraseology and images are
somewhat repetitive although
the repetition is one element
that makes the book more fun
for children who can get into
the rhythm of the book while
also seeing the variations.
While this book is Adele
Enersen's personal creative
journey and the story features
her own daughter as the
central character, thus giving
a tone of intimacy and
specificity, the story and
photographs are universal
enough to be enjoyed by other
parents and their children.
A widely popular blog now is
finally in a more permanent
book form to be kept, shared
and treasured for years to
come. WHEN MY BABY
DREAMS is a book for both
children and adults to
share. It would also
make a wonderful gift to
parents of newborns.
WHEN MY BABY DREAMS would make
a wonderful Valentine's gift
to your baby to keep for the
future to share years
later. Fun and creative,
one mother's photographic
journal inspires the
imagination.
Delightfully original and
offbeat.
