Description:

“The moment you starts this novel, you’d become a guest of the shop and embark on a unique experience that helps ease your insomnia.”-- Joo Eun-yeon, Professor of Neurology at Samsung Seoul Hospital

Not every baby is a good sleeper—but Oslo isn’t your average child. From the moment he was born, his parents have marveled at his extraordinary gift for sleep. While other babies cry for food or comfort, Oslo simply drifts into a sleep so deep his parents often need to check his breathing to make sure he doesn’t “sleep his life away.”

After struggling to graduate, Oslo realizes he has no other talent to build a life upon—except for one. It’s time to embrace his unique gift. His solution? Opening the Sweet Dream Gift Shop—a magical haven for anyone longing for a good night’s sleep.

Along with his enchanting owl friend, Zaza, Oslo offers bespoke remedies for those who suffers insomnia. While Zaza brews a calming cup of tea to guide customers into the dream world, where their hidden worries are unveiled, Oslo crafts personalized gifts to soothe their minds and help them rediscover the restful sleep they crave.

Whether it’s a frazzled student, a frustrated middle-aged housewife, or a lonely ginger cat, Oslo and Zaza help each find peace and the power to make peace with themselves. Along the way, they discover that giving comfort to others often leads to healing their own hearts.

Whimsical, uplifting, and with a delicate touch of fantasy elements, SWEET DREAM GIFT SHOP is a heartwarming tale about how to regain our peace of mind and rediscover courage to face the challenges in life.
