Twelve-year-old Annabelle Cloud leads an ordinary life filled with schoolwork, family noise, and daydreams—until the day her mother buys a painting of a golden-haired girl on a swing. The painting’s subject, who calls herself Kailee, is far from ordinary: she speaks, moves, and invites Annabelle to step beyond the frame. From that moment, Annabelle discovers that her dreams are not dreams at all, but gateways into a vast, living network of worlds — the Dreamgate — where thoughts take form, and imagination reshapes reality.

Annabelle discovers that each dream reveals a fragment of herself. But as the boundaries between dreaming and waking begin to dissolve, she must uncover who Kailee really is before she loses herself entirely.

At its heart, The Many Dreams of Annabelle Cloud is a meditation on imagination, grief, and self-discovery. It transforms the inner life of a child into an epic of wonder, threaded with humour, philosophy, and the bittersweet magic of growing up.
