How the Sandman Almost Overslept

One day, Jacob, the Sandman, almost overslept, but luckily, Gregor the mouse woke him up. The friends set off to get the magic sleeping sand that Jacob scatters over towns and villages so that children can have good dreams. But this time, a huge and terrible Night Scarecrow sleeps on the sand. Will Jacob now be able to collect the magic sand?
A wonderful bedtime story to help your child cope with night terrors, and a great way to talk to your child about how important it is to be open to the world and to be able to turn obstacles into new opportunities.
About the author
Daniela Drescher is an outstanding German artist, author and illustrator of several dozen children's books. She was born in 1966 in Munich; she is married and has four children. Before she began writing and illustrating children's books, she worked as a children's art therapist for many years. This is what the artist herself says about her work: "When creating illustrations for children's books, I pay primary attention to color, color scheme, and not to details and small details. Nature is the main subject of my illustrations, that grandiose background against which each fairy tale or story unfolds. I strive to encourage children to pay attention to plants and animals, to observe them and to perceive nature as a huge world inhabited by a wide variety of living creatures. I want my illustrations to open up a wide scope for the child's imagination, awakening his own fantasy and enlivening his inner world of images, because creative imagination is the very key that we must give our children so that they can create the future."
