Rosie and the Dream Fairy by Jamie Heimos

Rosie has a big imagination, which can sometimes make her dreams turn frightening. Rosie’s Mom tells her about the Dream Fairy that comes to visit your dreams when you set out the fairy at night. Dream Fairy comes to visit Rosie’s dreams and turns her scary dreams into silly ones as she explores in Dreamland. Rosie’s sleep troubles turn from tricky to peaceful, and soon, falling asleep is no problem for her with the help of Dream Fairy.
