A sleeping girl lies in a moonlit desert, and one by one the animals come closer to see her.
Inspired by Henri Rousseau's famous painting, this elegant picture book imagines how the scene might have come to be. A lizard, a rabbit, a turtle, and other curious creatures gather around the girl, while a lion steps into the dream with quiet power. Then the artist himself appears, ready to paint what he sees.
Mordicai Gerstein turns a work of art into a playful, mysterious story about dreams, imagination, and the choices an artist makes. Young readers who enjoy strange, beautiful pictures will find themselves looking closely at every detail.
