SAILBOAT DREAMS

About the Book

Sailboat Dreams, Monkey Island is a fantasy story depicting the escapades of two, adorable toddlers, Aiden and Emma. Sailboat is their imaginary, magical friend who visits them in their dreams, and whisks them off on a whimsical adventure to Monkey Island where brother and sister fly through the trees with the monkeys, and dance with the creatures of the island. The adventure begins early in the evening when the children have been tucked into bed, and comes to an end before Mommy and Daddy wake them up in the morning. Sailboat promises to return to lead Aiden and Emma on another excursion "sometime in June". Look forward to Sailboat's return, and volume two of Sailboat Dreams, entitled Moonlit Dance.

About the Author

Born and raised in Somerset, MA, Elizabeth Fournier has spent most of her adult life on Sawdy Pond in Fall River, MA. Elizabeth is the mother of two grown children, Shauna and Shane, the mother- in- law of Tina, and the grandmother of two adorable children, Aiden and Emma, on whom Sailboat Dreams is based. Elizabeth is a special needs teacher who has been teaching “at risk” high school students for the past 24 years. She enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her passions include kayaking, canoeing, reading, traveling, painting and photography. It was the antics of her grandson, Aiden who inspired Elizabeth to write this book. At the age of two, Aiden became obsessed with a picture of a sailboat, which he carried around with him each day, and insisted on taking into his crib at naptime. Elizabeth's curiosity about this obsession sparked her creativity and led to the creation of Sailboat Dreams. Sailboat Dreams, Monkey Island is Elizabeth's first childrens' book. A second book, Sailboat Dreams, Moonlit Dance is currently being prepared for publication.
