In this vibrant, magical wordless book, a girl sleeps in her bed, a toy chicken by her side and a toy reindeer in the corner. Dreaming, the child transforms into a wolf. Outside she meets the chicken and the deer, now animate, and the trio stretches into the heavens to collect a star. Rich-hued, stylized illustrations ground the narrative in a folk-like simplicity.
