An exciting picture-book debut from an upcoming Mongolian artist and storyteller about what it is to create, as told through the character of the Dreamcrafter.
The Dreamcrafter lives in a small dwelling in a quiet part of the city, where she crafts dreams for those who come to her seeking them. She makes good dreams and bad, and all who receive them are satisfied, for the dreams either make them happy, or they provide them with what they need in order to overcome something. But one morning, the Dreamcrafter awakes to find that all of the dreams have flown away! Now, she must embark on a journey to get them back.
Simply told, yet carrying a deep insight into life, this is a rich and textured story about art, the role it plays in our lives, and the solitude of those who make it.
An internationally recognized artist, Zolboo Orgil lives and works in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She studied fine arts at the Mongolian State University of Arts and Culture, specializing in traditional Mongolian drawing techniques. She later continued her education at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland, at the faculty of fine arts. Zolboo’s artistic style often embodies imaginative, fantastical, allegorical, and symbolic elements, blending surrealism and magical realism to explore dreamlike narratives and poetic worlds. In 2023, she took part in the Children’s Book Creation Fellowship organized by the Asia Foundation Mongolia, where she developed the story for her debut picture book, The Dreamcrafter. Bujinlkham Erdenebaatar is an author and poet based in Ulaanbaatar. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the National University of Mongolia in 2014 and her Master’s degree in Creative Writing and Poetics from the University of Washington in 2023. She is the author of the poetry collections Those Who Forget Autumn (2012) and Soul Craft (2020), and the novella Arian (2015). Her debut novel, Eruge Station, was published in 2025.
