Temikki and the Dream Garden
“Temikki” offers a profoundly imaginative and optimistic framework. Its celebration of love, hope (imagination), faith (action), dreams, and the inherent creative power of children.
Summary
In a magical universe born from a tiny speck of love, which expanded like the Big Bang and wove all that is visible, we find the Dream Garden, where Temikki, the guardian of dreams, resides. Temikki’s role is to light lamps with the dreams of children and hang them on the Dream Tree. This garden was created to sustain hope and faith, enabling the continued creation of new worlds with the power of dreams. The speck of love, knowing that children’s imaginations are boundless, partners Temikki with them for this crucial task.
