$900.00
Modified keystone shaped pages, joined with a stab-binding variation, present both visual and text based narratives that tell a story of a child taking a series of steps to combat their fear of night time conflagrations, resulting in a lovely night time practice of experiencing the night time sky. The back of the pages present a six-step word ladder (nightmare:daydreams).
