Illustrated by
Stacey Schuett.
Kimmy, a contemporary Chippewa girl, stays with her grandmother while her parents look for a home in Chicago. Her grandmother tells her about dreamcatchers, webs made of string and wood that help a child have only good dreams. Despite a couple of lapses in logic, the story is satisfying. Schuett's heavy gouache and acrylic paintings ground the text in reality. Instructions for making a dreamcatcher are included.
