Observational Journal - Post #2

Joey's friend Henry claims to have seen the Sandman. That night, Joey tries to stay awake to see the Sandman but he slowly falls asleep. He is woken up abruptly and is now flying through the sky on his red Radio Flyer wagon. He is then dropped onto a very strange ship that flies through the air. The ship is rigged with large, billowing sails and when the wind blows, they seem to glow like they are covered in thousands of small stars. The body of the boat is colorful and is adorned with intriguing objects such as moons, stars, planets, and many hourglasses of all sizes filled with sparkling sand. A great balloon that keeps the boat afloat. The captain of the ship is the very tall, thin, delightful, long-robed, bearded, and jolly Sandman who greets Joey warmly and allows him on board. He shows Joey what he actually does at night. The Sandman soars through the skies, stopping only to hang large stars in the darkness. Each star is engraved with a child's name. The Sandman then takes Joey to see all of the sleeping children around the world . . .

Based on the 1994 children's book "Ship of Dreams" by Dean Morrissey
