Far too few books like these take up space on my children’s bookshelves, but as a mum, I refuse to believe that all the great children’s literature was written in days gone by. That’s why I adore The Dream Keeper Saga, written by the tremendously talented Kathryn Butler. My sons have devoured these books and learned important lessons as they read.
