Cover of the book: The main character gazes thoughtfully out the classroom window, where a dense cluster of sunflowers presses up against the glass. In the meantimes, hummingbirds are flying through the the blossoms

Daydream Chronicle(2025) is a cross-genre picture book about an individual navigating anxiety and the feeling of being adrift through daydreaming. Blurring the line between reality and imagination, the story frames daydreaming as a meaningful way to process uncertainty and make sense of confusion in life.
