A Perfect Season for Dreaming / Un Tiempo Perfecto Para Soaar [Spanish]

Benjamin Alire Sáenz's poetry shines in this lush book. Aesop's ants have nothing on our protagonist whose afternoon dreams drive his journey through shame into passion, trust, and joy. "A Perfect Season for Dreaming" validates a worldview shared by children and artists of all ages. The textual imagery lends itself well to Esau Andrade Valencia's gorgeous illustrations.

Prize-winning children's author Benjamin Alire Saenz presents Perfect Season for Dreaming / Un Tiempo Perfecto Para Sonar, a bilingual English/Spanish children's picturebook about an old man who enjoys the most beautiful summer dreams. He is too nervous to tell anyone about them, since they are as strange as they are wondrous; he fears that no one will understand. But the dreams fill him with so must joy that he must tell someone or burst, and at last he dares to confide in his granddaughter, who also experiences the mystery of beautiful and fantastic dreams. Happier for having shared his secret, he enjoys one more splendid dream. Mexican-born artist Esau Andrade Valencia, whose work has been featured in museums, brings the marvelous dreams to vivid life in this brilliantly illustrated storybook.
