About This Book

Appelemando loves to dream, but in the dreary, gray town where he lives, there is no room for dreamers. Fortunately, Appelemando is lucky enough to have friends who believe in his dreams, and with a little encouragement, the children are able to teach the townspeople how dreams can color their world.
