A picture book to escape from reality through the imaginary.

There are different types of dreams: those while you sleep, magical and imaginative, but also daydreams that represent your present wishes, dream projects and broken dreams. It isn’t easy to catch dreams, because they flit away like butterflies as soon as you brush against them. Yet we experience them, day and night, as in an adventure: the adventure of dreaming.

• A book capable of combining dreams and reality, dedicated to all the dreams in the world and to all the dreamers.

• A poet and very delicate text, to enjoy in a moment of personal escape.
