Description: Appelemando is a young boy with big dreams. His dreams can actually come out of his head in colorful rivers of ideas. Appelemando has four friends who understand him and his dreams are able to be seen by them. However, problems arise when the dreams begin to stick on things around the village. The villagers question the situation and call it a “prank.” Unfortunately, they don’t believe Appelemando when he tells the truth about his dreams. This leads to a surprising ending where all of the village learns some valuable lessons.
