Product Description
Every child has bad dreams. But the Bible tells us that our God is strong and loving and wants to protect us. And children can cling to that wonderful truth, using it to help drive fearful feelings away.
In The Dream Quilt, a little boy named Michael is having trouble with bad dreams. Then one day, Michael learns about the special quilt game Granny Rose used to play with his mother when she was little and had bad dreams. He wants to play, too. The game works. Michael’s dreams are now quite lovely. But when the quilt gets taken away, he learns that it wasn’t the blanket that protected him at all–and that the only thing he really needs to feel secure is the God who keeps him warm and loved…and safe.
Through repeated rhymes, bright colors, and a charming story line, The Dream Quilt helps to instill in children a confidence in God, as well as reinforce the bond between parent and child. Best of all, it gives moms and dads a greatly-needed, easy-to-use tool to help get children through their toughest nights–and teach them about the God who will love them throughout all their days.

Sweet Dreams for little ones July 15, 2008
This book has inspired a tradition in our house. Everynight we use the line in the book: "A kiss for a stamp....". If I happen to forget to say it my kids will remind me to ask them about what sweet dreams they will have that night. I have no doubt this book will long be treasured by my kids after their grown because of the wonderful memories it has inspired.
Helps children who are afraid at night. August 27, 2006

I am a pre-kindergarten teacher. My students hung on every word when I read this book to them. They could relate to the subject matter. I think they thought that thinking about the different colors at night could help them get over fear themselves. This is a captivating, beautifully illustrated, relevent book for preschoolers.

Casting out fears by trusting God April 21, 2000
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
So many books today give children false hope through fanciful tales of magic "things". There are some cute stories out there about necklaces that give little girls confidence, or teddy bears that offer security and freedom from fears, even stuffed bunnies who teach lessons of how to love. But I always find myself explaining to my daughters that our true hope and our most lasting lessons, come from the Lord - anytime we are frightened or lonely or disappointed, we can trust that the Lord will comfort us and give us strength.Celeste Ryan weaves a beautiful mix of sentiment and faith by showing us how we look for something tangible to trust for our comfort (the quilt), but all things of this world will eventually pass away - God is the eternal comforter, healer, confidante, friend. This book is a favorite in our house. The illustrations are eye-catching and unique, the story is smooth and entertaining, and the message is one that will stick with you. The Dream Quilt may be directed at juveniles, but I guarantee adults will enjoy it, as well

This is a sweet story of how a Mom uses the squares on an old quilt to help ease her child's fears at bed time. The illustations are sure to catch a child's eye; they're so colorful. It's a beautiful story and it's a book that's beautiful to look at.
