Hannu Mäkelä’s Baby Dreams is about what babies dream, and what we can experience through them. The fine and unique illustrations are by Marika Maijala.

Every baby dreams, but what do they dream about? A mother can guess, and a father can listen. Be- cause when a baby sleeps, its face, its voice, and sometimes the quick movements of its feet can tell you where the baby is journeying in its dreams.

”Peesoo saa taa, saa beh ah caa, la la la loo, ba la la!” The babylanguage dictionary hasn’t been written yet, which is reason enough to trust this translation. “I want pea soup in summertime and wild strawber- ries with ice cream. And I want to learn lullabies on the flute. And to love, and be loved, and love!”
