Forgetful sisters Siba and Saba are always losing something. Sandals, slippers, sweaters – you name it, they lose it. When the two sisters fall asleep each night, they dream about the things they have lost that day. Until, one night, their dreams begin to reveal something entirely unexpected... With playful illustrations and a lullaby-like rhythm, this heart-warming story set in Uganda is truly one to be treasured.
Age: 3-7
Length: 32 pages
Genre: Picture book
'Isdahl’s alliterative narrative floats like a poem, sometimes rhyming, sometimes not, and is perfectly complemented by Van Doorn’s ethereal illustrations. . . . This beautifully rendered story is about the past and the future, change and constancy, and family love and inspired dreams, whether conjured while awake or sound asleep.' – Booklist
'A comforting tale about loss and the ways of being found. Best shared one-on-one or in a small group setting.' – School Library Journal
'[A] visually sumptuous story. This imaginative international tale will delight readers of all ages.' – Kirkus Reviews
