I Dreamed I Was a Dog

32 pp. | Leaf Storm | November, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-9456529-0-5 $17.95
(4) K-3 A boy's circular dream transforms him into a red dog, then into a dinosaur "with a dog as my best friend," and so on; finally he's the sun, whose rays "wake up a red dog"...and readers find the boy stirring in a sunny room with stuffed animals reflected in the dream. The heady story merely showcases Nakamura's psychedelic, pattern-heavy acrylic paintings resembling Oaxacan wooden animals.
