Vesper Jones has been having bad dreams so, along with her side-kick Marshmallow, she devises a plan and comes up with a device called a dream controller - like a remote control for dreams.
When the scary things come, all Vesper has to do is click her controller and change her dreams to friendly things. It takes her a little while to get the scary things under control but through courage and tenacity Vesper's dreams are now filled with unicorns and twinkling lights.
Vesper Jones and Marshmallow is a quirky and fun story that gives children the resources to find the power to take control of scary dreams. This fun and dynamic storybook will help children overcome bedtime anxieties by using their imagination to generate positive outcomes.
Francesca Corso's coloured-pencil style illustrations are whimsical and filled with colourful energy to deliver a visual masterpiece that moves from dark snapping fiends to swirls, sparkles and happiness.
Vesper's friend Marshmallow can be imagined as a real cat or a favourite soft toy who is always nearby to give comfort and support.
Vesper Jones and Marshmallow will help children turn bedtime uneasiness into pleasurable, fun moments for a peaceful night's sleep.
