The Dreamer is a story about a young boy who dreams of being someone different than himself. He wants to be better than he thinks he is. In fact, he wants to be a hero.
His idea gets the opposite reaction than he expected. He went through many experiences he perceives as dangerous and heroic but finds out he is not the hero instead is in trouble.
In the end, the Dreamer learns that he is good enough without trying to be someone else. This is an opportunity for an adult to teach a child about self-worth and confidence in who they are.
