Take a deep breath of Dreamland air - your adventure is about to begin!
In this gentle and imaginative picture book, children follow their anaesthetist as a friendly guide, connecting to the Dream Machine and drifting peacefully into Dreamland through a calm, comforting story filled with fun.
Written by a specialist anaesthetist with years of experience supporting children and families, Road to Dreamland transforms the anaesthetic journey into a soothing adventure that replaces fear with curiosity and confidence. The rhyming story is paired with bright, engaging illustrations and delightful search and find elements that encourage children to explore every page and feel more involved in their own journey.
Each step of the process is introduced in a child-friendly way, helping little readers understand what to expect before their operation. The book is designed to promote a sense of calm, control, and bravery, making it a helpful companion in the days or weeks leading up to surgery. Alongside the story, children can complete four extra Dreamland Missions, with the final mission taking place only in the real hospital, turning the experience into something interactive, exciting, and empowering.
To support families further, the book includes thoughtful tips for parents as well as practical guidance for anaesthetists on reducing perioperative anxiety. These sections offer simple, effective strategies that can make a meaningful difference to a child's experience on the day of their procedure.
Loved by parents and useful for healthcare professionals, this beautifully illustrated resource can help create smoother, more confident anaesthetic inductions. Aimed at children aged 1-10, Road to Dreamland turns butterflies in little tummies into bravery, bright dreams, and a sense of adventure. It makes a thoughtful and reassuring gift for any child preparing for hospital or surgery.
