Origami Orchestra

Let your imagination unfold as an orchestra of origami debuts its soulful tune just for you. In this 286-word story, readers are introduced to a whimsical land where the art of origami is anything but stiff. The magic continues even after the story ends with a few did-you-know fun facts and step-by-step instructions on how to craft an origami water lily.



Origami Orchestra is part of a new book series titled The Dreamscape Series. The collection is a celebration of inclusiveness. No matter our gender, race, or cultural differences, everyone dreams. This book, and the others in the series (coming soon), incorporate new words and information in order to strengthen vocabulary, language, and reading skills, while exploring a playful dreamscape (the environment of the dream). Each dreamscape is built around rhyming stanzas that capture the fluid nature of dreaming, increase word retention, and will continually engage the reader long after the final line.



The Dreamscape Series is designed to withstand the test of time, hold the interest of readers of all ages (but targeted age is 0-8), and invoke a deluge of curiosity about new wonders, things, and ideas. Open up and allow the worlds of our dreams to come alive.

Did you know that a mountain could actually be a unicorn's horn? Have you ever seen an origami orchestra play? Or are you one of the lucky few that have danced with life-size gingerbread men, then floated off on the scents of baked goods? Inspired by such questions and my own curiosity, I conceptualized and wrote a children's series, The Dreamscape Series. The first collection of titles are Origami Orchestra, Beaked In, Unicorn Horn Mountain, and Butterfly Ride.



Dreams can be powerful and poignant, but may also leave us with more questions than answers. The Dreamscape Series reverses that concept by incorporating new words and information that strengthens vocabulary, language, and reading skills, while exploring a playful dreamscape (the environment of the dream). Each dreamscape is built around rhyming stanzas that capture the fluid nature of dreams, and will continually engage the reader long after the final line.



The series is designed to withstand the test of time, hold the interest of readers of all ages (but targeted age is 0-8), and invoke a deluge of curiosity about new places, things, and ideas. Refreshing our point of view and unlocking our imaginations can lead to the greatest discoveries, and allow the worlds of our dreams to come alive.
