Booklist - 02/01/2025 Whether his dreams are about deep-sea swimming or drumming, bunny Llewellyn saves them in jars. One hope is for friends—and when he meets bunnies Veera and Jaxx, the trio decides to start collect and share their hopes together. Soon every dream, from performing in the school play to being a wildlife photographer, gets its own jar. When a storm destroys almost their whole collection, they wonder: “What was the point of dreaming if everything could be lost?” But one hidden jar, with an uplifting, bright dream of hope, encourages them to start again. Soon, they’re filling new jars, and bolstered by their friendship, their dreams are bigger and better than before. Macero's spare, eloquent narrative is nicely extended through speech balloons and charming illustrations in sumptuous color, which artfully integrate the friends' activities and wishes—like Veera moongazing through a telescope alongside her jar-shaped dream of rocketing into space. This third Llewellyn title stands on its own, highlighting how to find reassurance amid life's ups and downs and what imagination and friends can inspire. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
