Meet You In Your Dreams (MYIYD) is an emotional yet positive children's book which allows the reader to either relate to their own experience or learn empathy when it comes to a child with special needs.
We see the story through the eyes of a young boy, named Ryder, who wants to connect with his younger sister, Seraphina, who is diagnosed with a brain disorder.
Ryder's mother helps him navigate how to love his sister, while also showing others grace and compassion. MYIYD shows the beginning stages of a child trying to understand and navigate their confusion as well as the childlike wonder of having a beautiful imagination that includes adventure, animals, nature and more, all told through a colorful poetic backdrop.
This book is great for young children, teaching them both family values and what it is to truly have compassion for others. It also promotes disability inclusion while helping parents open dialogue with their children about special needs.
