In "Gossamer" by Lois Lowry, a gentle and ethereal story unfolds as a group of tiny beings known as "dream-givers" weave dreams for humans. The protagonist, Littlest, is a novice dream-giver who is eager to learn but struggles with her tasks. As she observes a young girl in a troubled home, Littlest uncovers the complexities of love, grief, and hope. Through her journey, she learns about the power of dreams and the importance of kindness. Lowry masterfully blends magic and reality, creating a poignant narrative that explores the impact of dreams on our lives. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
