Summary
A heartwarming text honoring the ever-evolving relationship of a parent and child across time， with visually striking art by bestselling and award-winning artist Rafael López。
Each evening when the sun has set， as nighttime casts a starry net， I'll hitch a ride on moonbeams， and meet you in your dreams。
This poetic and tender story celebrates the parent-and-child bond in its many forms and offers gentle assurance of love across a lifetime。 Two parents' dreams of the future with their children—from early dependence for nourishment and basic needs， to the parent as home base for a child in later life—mirror an always-changing but unbreakable relationship。
Written in lyrical rhyme and accompanied by breathtaking art by the incomparable Rafael López， I'll Meet You in Your Dreams affirms that parental love is a constant force， transcending boundaries of space and time。

The inside cover of this picture book describes how this book is about the transformative power of parents in their children's hearts， minds， and souls and how this book explores this relationship from infancy to adulthood。 As an adult and a parent， I found this book beautiful and symbolic and I could relate。 But as a child， I would pass over this without more than a glance。 This falls solidly into the category of picture books for adults。 This should be its own genre because if you understand c The inside cover of this picture book describes how this book is about the transformative power of parents in their children's hearts， minds， and souls and how this book explores this relationship from infancy to adulthood。 As an adult and a parent， I found this book beautiful and symbolic and I could relate。 But as a child， I would pass over this without more than a glance。 This falls solidly into the category of picture books for adults。 This should be its own genre because if you understand child development and how children at different ages think and relate， you'd know these types of books do not appeal to this audience。 。。。more

Two parents， each with their infant child， envision their futures as parents as their children grow into adulthood。 The text is lyrical and tender and imaginative; and the illustrations are beautiful。 This is a great story for new parents （a good gift idea！！） as it showcases the evolving relationship between parent and child。

There is so much I love about this book。 But mainly:1） I always love Rafael López's art。 But this seems more sophisticated that his other work and that just makes me love it even more。 2） I'm getting major The Runaway Bunny vibes from this book （except less smothering）。 And that was one of my absolute favorite books as a kid。 Highly recommended！ There is so much I love about this book。 But mainly:1） I always love Rafael López's art。 But this seems more sophisticated that his other work and that just makes me love it even more。 2） I'm getting major The Runaway Bunny vibes from this book （except less smothering）。 And that was one of my absolute favorite books as a kid。 Highly recommended！ 。。。more

A beautiful bedtime story that is more for the mother than the child。 It's kind of a boundary-respecting version of THE RUNAWAY BUNNY。 The Mock Caldecott nominated it for our consideration。 They picked a good one。 A beautiful bedtime story that is more for the mother than the child。 It's kind of a boundary-respecting version of THE RUNAWAY BUNNY。 The Mock Caldecott nominated it for our consideration。 They picked a good one。 。。。more

Lovely illustrations， as per usual with Mr。 Lopez， but I needed my boyfriend to explain what was happening because they confused me。 Nice baby shower gift， but will not use in the classroom。

A beautifully paced rhyming story with illustrations that will keep you invested the whole time。Oh！ Love love love！ This story is a beautiful "I love you" from a parent to a child。 The pace is *chef kiss* and the illustrations tell their own story while adding to the written words。 The few pages that require you to turn the book keep the story interactive in a whole other way。 Highly recommend。 Perfect parental/guardian gift for a kiddo。 A beautifully paced rhyming story with illustrations that will keep you invested the whole time。Oh！ Love love love！ This story is a beautiful "I love you" from a parent to a child。 The pace is *chef kiss* and the illustrations tell their own story while adding to the written words。 The few pages that require you to turn the book keep the story interactive in a whole other way。 Highly recommend。 Perfect parental/guardian gift for a kiddo。 。。。more

This is so beautiful。 I hope it garners lots of recognition， but I think it will do fine if people just purchase it to welcome new babies。 A little mushy for my usual 5*， but the illustrations are so fantastic I still want everyone to love it。

This is a beautiful book about parental love， no matter the age of the child or parent。 The gorgeous paintings--rendered in watercolor， gouache， acrylic， pencil and ink--perfectly capture the tone and emotions in the lyrical text。

I read this with my monsters and we all loved it！ I'll Meet You in Your Dreams is about being a parent and how it fluctuates over time。 Eventually - and this is what made me sniffle a little bit - the child will no longer need their parents around， but the bond is still there。 They've made memories and shared experiences， but every child reaches a point where they start their own adventure - one without their parents。 It was such a lovely， heartfelt story。 The words were lyrical and perfectly tr I read this with my monsters and we all loved it！ I'll Meet You in Your Dreams is about being a parent and how it fluctuates over time。 Eventually - and this is what made me sniffle a little bit - the child will no longer need their parents around， but the bond is still there。 They've made memories and shared experiences， but every child reaches a point where they start their own adventure - one without their parents。 It was such a lovely， heartfelt story。 The words were lyrical and perfectly transitioned from one page to the next。 I immediately wanted to read it again once we'd finished。 The illustrations just made everything better！ I really enjoyed having to turn the book for certain pages， and I thought it was wonderful how the change in perspective could highlight what words were being said。 The artwork really complemented the story， which really does make all the difference。 Explaining the book to my children afterwards （they didn't understand where the baby went） was probably the hardest thing I've done all day。 They said they didn't want me to get old， and we talked about how it was a natural part of life。 We all grow up and get old， and if we're lucky we get to watch our children start to do the same。 It was bittersweet and emotional， and I love that this book gave us an opening for that conversation。 （★★★★★）Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Bloglovin' | Amazon | Pinterest 。。。more

This is a lovely picture book that will age with a child and shares an important message of bonding and love， that their parent will always be there for them， no matter what they dream or become。 It also allows for the play and pretending that is so important to children to develop and I love the positive feelings that come from simple poetry。 The illustrations are a perfect match for the words。

Very sweet picture book showing a parent's love， with relaxing， yet intricate， textured illustrations。 Perhaps a winner for the illustrations in a picture book this year。 Very sweet picture book showing a parent's love， with relaxing， yet intricate， textured illustrations。 Perhaps a winner for the illustrations in a picture book this year。 。。。more

When the mother encircles and becomes the lighthouse to show her child the way back home， I cried。 Beautifully illustrated and the ending is so sweet and tender。

Sweet， vibrant， and emotional rhyming story of a parent's wish to their child， even as the child grows and eventually becomes an adult。 I liked that the book emphasized that there is love in letting go and allowing the young adult to move away from home and find their own way in life。 Sweet， vibrant， and emotional rhyming story of a parent's wish to their child， even as the child grows and eventually becomes an adult。 I liked that the book emphasized that there is love in letting go and allowing the young adult to move away from home and find their own way in life。 。。。more

The book has daytime and nighttime scenes where a loved one lets a younger child know he / she will always be there for them no matter what。 The book is written as poetry and takes the form of an adventure of first as a baby， I'll be there …and then as you get older， I'll still be there …till the concluding thoughts that I'll always be there in your dreams to support you。 Good challenge words for a young child （that could also encourage further study and discussion）: moonbeams， nectar， shower， m The book has daytime and nighttime scenes where a loved one lets a younger child know he / she will always be there for them no matter what。 The book is written as poetry and takes the form of an adventure of first as a baby， I'll be there …and then as you get older， I'll still be there …till the concluding thoughts that I'll always be there in your dreams to support you。 Good challenge words for a young child （that could also encourage further study and discussion）: moonbeams， nectar， shower， mole， knight， eagle and hawk， shore， lighthouse， briny sea， and gleam。 The illustrations are hand-drawn and colored in soft shades。 Each section of the story fills an open-spread， so the illustrations feel life-size！ The thoughts that a family member will always be there for one another even though they are far away is so positive！ And as the title says， “I’ll meet you in your dreams。” This is a comforting thought for a child。 What a soothing story for ages 3+。 The book is best read with a loving family member because the book is about families。 Why cannot all families understand that they should be there in their loved one’s dreams and always practice this？ The book would be a nice gift for parents-to-be。 。。。more
