Sinopsis

Kingsbridge had taken the field for practice, the visitors having warmed up already. The Northern League, a genuine “bush” organization, had opened two days earlier in Bancroft and Fryeburg, but this was to be the first game of the season in Kingsbridge, a hustling, crude, though ambitious pulp-mill town.
As it was Saturday afternoon, when the mills closed down at three o’clock, there was certain to be a big crowd in attendance, double assurance of which could be seen in the rapidly filling grand stand and bleachers, and the steady stream of humanity pouring in through the gates.
 
As Riley approached, a lean, sallow man, with a hawk-beak nose, rose from the home bench and nodded, holding out a bony hand, which, cold as a dead fish, was almost smothered in the pudgy paw put forth to meet it.

    How can we deal with a matter as delicate as the loss of someone dear to us with children? How can we help them face their fears? 
    All children learn, some sooner, some later, that unfortunately people or animals do not live forever. This can happen either through direct experience, such as with a loved one, perhaps sick or elderly, or a pet you are particularly fond of, or indirectly through a friend's story or by watching a film. 
    With this story every parent can, through the tool of narration, introduce or explore the topic of mourning. 
    The protagonist Kaya will receive the "Dream Book" as a gift from her grandmother, a very powerful tool capable of transforming all the images that are drawn on its blank pages into dreams. 
    Given her young age, however, she will only be allowed to use the book once a year. Kaya, thanks to her incredible sensitivity, will decide when to do it, and she will do it for a very, very special reason...... 
    With simple language suitable for young readers, this audiobook will help you tackle such a delicate topic through the only possible way, reading a fantastic and engaging story featuring our sweet blue-skinned extraterrestrial girl - Kaya.
