Synopsis

Imagination is what gives our dreams wings! An allegorical poem in loose ballad form, for younger readers & readers of all ages. "A beautiful way to introduce the power of poetry. Filled with poetic devices, this ballad style poem would also benefit any teacher who values philosophy in the classroom as part of their pedagogical practice. Catching a Dream is a real treasure to share with [those] who love language." Adrienne T. O'Connell. B.A. Grad Dip. Ed. "Lyrical & as beautiful as butterfly wing. Another wonderful [verse] story by J.R.McRae that readers are sure to enjoy."
