Bradford and the Desert of Lop - Coming Soon!
Written by Dawn Van Zant
Illustrated by Alexander Levitas

"When the Sandman comes to visit you tonight, you need to listen closely as you close your eyes and drift off to sleep. It is a tale of the magic that lives in the desert, of buried ancient treasures, vanishing wild camels, forgotten people and the courage of a small unlikely warrior destined to be their guardian.

In a warm bed, an unsuspecting young boy who could only walk in his dreams awaited his destiny."

Follow Brad and the Sandman on their magical journey to the Desert of Lop to learn the secrets of the desert that live in your heart.
