A rythmic text and brilliant illustrations bring alive a magical world where cool cats dig hot jazz and where, if you try hard enough, no dream is out of reach.

"Playful and optimistic, this story of dreams...is the cool cat's meow."
"Hubbard...creates vibrant spreads that ideally complement the narrative"
Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"Here is a one-of-a-kind book with a great message -- it encourages youngsters to do what they love, and to work at it to the best of their ability."
"Hubbard's vivid illustrations sparkle like the paintings of Matisse and offer just the right accompaniment to the jazzy text"
School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
