I wanted to share a children’s book with you called The Dream Catcher by Marcelo Verdad (Author) that I received a copy of in exchange for tis review. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.

The Dream Catcher is a cute inspiring children’s book that teaches us to dream as the little boy is making cream catchers to sale to so he can purchase a airplane with two seats for his and his grandmother. I love how they discuss not only there dreams but other people’s dreams as well. The story teaches us to never give up o our dreams and to keep believing.

The Dream Catcher is the perfect story book for children of all ages and will inspire conversations in families. As well as letting parents explain what dream catchers are and how they work and even go shopping as a family for a dream catcher which Charlie and I’ve always had hanging in our bedroom. Have you had a dream catcher or would you like one?

About the book:

For fans of Last Stop on Market Street, an uplifting story about a boy who stays true to his biggest dream while finding the magic in every moment.

Some people dream of perfect waves, fancy castles, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day.

And little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins, Miguel has only one simple wish—to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don’t always come to pass?

Marcelo Verdad’s poignant tale of hope and resilience shows how living in the here and now can be a journey every bit as beautiful as a dream.

A Spanish edition, El atrapasueños, is also available for purchase.
