Some places don’t exist on maps.
They appear quietly, only when we’re ready to find them.
While writing The Library of Forgotten Dreams, I imagined a place that doesn’t reveal itself through searching — only through openness. A library hidden behind an ordinary door, waiting patiently for the right moment.
Children understand this kind of magic instinctively. They know that some discoveries can’t be forced. They arrive when curiosity outweighs fear, when wonder feels safer than doubt.
These hidden places — real or imagined — become sanctuaries. They offer reassurance, courage, and a sense of belonging. Not because they fix everything, but because they remind us we’re not alone.

For young readers, stories like this gently suggest that support can appear when it’s most needed — sometimes inside themselves.
That quiet trust is at the heart of The Library of Forgotten Dreams.
