Naomi Shihab Nye is an author from from san antonio who writes poetry mainly intended for an older audience, However she has written some great children's books. The book that I read was called Benito's Dream Bottle. When Benito's grandmother tells him that she hasn't dreamed in a long time, Benito goes to find out where dreamsvcome from. The people don't give him a definite answer so he comes up with an idea that "dreams really come from the Dream Bottle," which is located between the chest and the stomach and pours dreams into the head when a person lies down. So his grandmother can dream again he plans to fill up her bottle, Benito helps her think hard about everything she has ever seen to get her dreams back. This book has great water colors and is very visually appealing.
