The Dream Factory - Hardcover
Description
by Steph Matuku (Author), Zak Atea (Illustrator)
Tate's first book written by a Maori author is a moving, vibrantly illustrated tale of community and the dreams that power creativity
An amazing building rises on the edge of town--it's the dream factory. Every night, it sends out magical mist. Flying cars, flower cakes, and talking tigers fill the people's dreams. And the next day the people make those dreams come true. But when a kereru bird flies into the dream factory and a feather floats into a cog, everything goes terribly wrong.Author Biography
