Praise for this book

"In the first-person narrative, the child's voice is quiet and convincing. A picture book that is particularly welcome for portraying a present-day story about Native Americans."--Booklist

"The dreamcatcher--or the story--works; Kimmy wakes up happy and refreshed. The love shared by the child and her grandmother is palpable, reflected in the old woman's reassuring presence, her words, actions, and spirit."--Kirkus Reviews

"This is a sensitive and attractive story."--School Library Journal

"A Chippewa girl's bad dreams are kept at bay by a dreamcatcher in this straightforward story. The paintings convincingly convey tenderness among the family members, as well as the narrator's anxiety."--Publishers Weekly
