An amazing building rises on the edge of town – it’s the dream factory. Every night, it sends out magical mist. Flying cars, flower cakes and talking tigers fill people’s dreams. And the next day, the people make those dreams come true. But when a kererū flies into the dream factory, and a feather floats into a cog, everything goes terribly wrong.
This is the English edition of Te Wheketere Moemoeā.
Meet the illustrator, Zak Ātea.

"The Dream Factory is a beautiful collaboration between a New Zealand author and illustrator team and will be a fantastic night-time read to bring amazing dreams to all young listeners ... The perfect way to show children that dreaming is good for you!"
"Children’s picture books have the ability to lift you out of glum and slumber .... Steph’s The Dream Factory does exactly that. This is a book to read and reread to your tamariki, mokopuna and to yourself. I adore it."
"Illustrator Zak Ātea blends rich colour with texture to create an atmospheric and moody world. Her artwork is utterly beautiful, enticing the reader in and making them linger on the page. There's lots to spot within the book, including a cute kererū trying to make amends."
"Steph has written this tale with delightful creative language, using alliteration, onomatopoeia, and lots of action words ... A tale about the power of dreams and how they enhance your imagination."
