Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
"A Chippewa girl's bad dreams are kept at bay by a dreamcatcher in this straightforward story. The paintings convincingly convey tenderness among the family members, as well as the narrator's anxiety," said PW. Ages 5-8. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
Kimmy is to spend a week with her Chippewa grandmother while her parents look for a new home in Chicago. Grandmother lives in a cabin in the north woods, and Kimmy enjoys spending time with her, but a week away from her parents sounds like a long time. When bad dreams cause Kimmy to wake up screaming, Grandmother knows just what to do; she and Kimmy craft a dreamcatcher of bent wood, sinew, feathers, and beads, while Grandmother tells Kimmy the legend of the first dreamcatcher. The dreamcatcherþor the storyþworks; Kimmy wakes up happy and refreshed. The love shared by the child and her grandmother is palpable, reflected in the old woman's reassuring presence, her words, actions, and spirit. Schuett's acrylic and gouache illustrations show that warmth in expressive faces, and in the curve of Grandmother's arm and the angle of her head as she holds Kimmy. Directions for making a dreamcatcher round out this satisfying offering. (Picture book. 5-8)
