When Kiwi Dreams Kristina Hutch Matthews

Join Kiwi the Cat on a Dream Adventure!

This book is dedicated to YOU, no matter whether you are big or small. It's dedicated to YOU-a two-legged reader to read to your four-legged friends (like Kiwi). It's dedicated to those with the ability to reason (or the ability to be unreasonable); to those who are imaginative and to those who are logical; to those who are poetic and those who are quite literal.

As you will find in this tale, dreams can be scary, surprising, and silly. It can be fun to share your dreams with others and hear what your family and friends have to say around the breakfast table as they laugh and wonder about all that happened in the dreamtime.

Dreams can help you learn about yourself. Sometimes feelings and experiences you have long since forgotten, or parts of yourself that you don't even know exist show up in your dreams. It takes bravery to explore the things that might be buried deep inside you.

Often your dreams will take you on exciting adventures where you encounter monsters or other scary things. At first, you may want to run away from them but as this story shows, there is always another choice: you can acknowledge the monsters and invite them to tea. Then you just might realize they are not really so scary after all.

The story of a little girl who explores the surprisingly fantastic dream world along with her cat, and experiences the infinite possibilities of her unconscious imagination. When she wonders where her cat, Kiwi, goes when he dreams, he invites her along on a hero's journey into the unconscious, with all the unpredictable twists and turns and symbolic archetypal confrontations. Accompanied by her furry comrade, she experiences many of the bizarre phenomena of dreams, including being chased, flying, falling, and morphing from one thing into another, and confronting one's shadow side, before escaping back to waking life.

Kids aged 4-9 will have fun as they join Kiwi on his dream adventure!
