One night the moon invites her to take a dream voyage into space to have a conversation with her friend, the sad moon. This image encourages children to think about imaginary adventures which increases their creativity. In addition to being a delightful picture book, the text has an excellent message.

I highly recommend this book. Sophia's Dream is a great read aloud book for parents or grandparents to share with their young children. The pastel illustrations are a perfect complement to the engaging rhymes. A three, four, or five year old will love this book. --This review is from Nancy Famolari on the Amazon Book Detail Page for Sofia's Dream (Hardcover) Children, parents and teachers alike will treasure this delightful fantasy, Sofia's Dream, by Land Wilson.
