Bad day?
Boring day?
Dream it away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young Black boy is crying as he sleeps. Even his toy lion looks so sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here comes the dream weaver train to take away his worries – all aboard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oo-hoo Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toy lion drives the train through sky and forest and outer space as the boy looks back at his bad day and looks forward to future fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oo-hoo Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grown-ups may sing out the Gary Wright hit song<\/a> as they turn the pages, and young bookworms will enjoy the catchy repeated chorus and vivid collage-style illustrations by the artist of Let the Good Times Roll<\/em> (recommended here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another fun book from LyricPop, an imprint that matches well-known song lyrics with fresh new art to produce picture books that everyone will love (whether you know the song or not)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What books or songs do you turn to at the end of a bad day?
