About the Author:
You Byun (www.youbyun.com) grew up in the US, Japan and Korea, and received her MFA from School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her work has appeared in numerous galleries and magazines, and her portfolio received both the SCBWI's Portfolio Award and Tomie dePaola Illustration Award. Dream Friends is her first picture book. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
From Booklist:
Melody has a dream friend: he looks like an oversize white dog wearing a red bow tie. Whatever he is, he’s cute. In her dreams, Melody and her special friend do amazing things, like play hide-and-seek in a magical wood and watch fireworks that burst into the shapes of candy and cupcakes. But Melody’s real-life world is lonely, and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to bring her dream friend into reality. Then one day, a girl on the playground sees Melody dancing and asks to join in—and soon others follow (there’s a little dog in the scene, a brown version of you know who). In a nice twist, Melody and her new friend have a sleepover and travel to dream world together. While the theme here is common and the text straightforward, the illustrations are anything but. The unusual color palette, swirling peach and gold and violet and turquoise during the fantasy scenes, sets this book apart, as do debut author Byun’s textured, retro-style illustrations. A visual wonderland from an artist to watch. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Ann Kelley
