Scenes depicted on a young girl's patchwork quilt come to life at night as a series of dream images while she searches in her sleep for a stuffed toy which fell off her bed. Vibrant full color paintings dramatize the interplay between dreams and reality in a highly original creative work. (Ages 3-6)

The new quilt is finished, and what a quilt it is! Here is a square from the proud owner's baby pajamas, and one from the shirt she wore on her second birthday. There is even a square of the same material from which her mother made her stuffed dog Sally. How can she possibly sleep when there is so much to look at, and remember, and dream about . . . ?
