“We are thrilled to welcome Swazzle back to the Murrieta Library; their vibrant use of color and inspiring music engages even the youngest of viewers,” said Youth Services Librarian Allison Eagans in a released statement.
“Dream Carver” tells the story of Mateo, a boy growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico whose father has taught him to carve small wooden toys in the traditional way. One day, as Mateo is sitting under a large tree, he dreams of fantastic, brightly colored animals. When he wakes up, he decides to bring the creatures from his dream to life.
