From the 1994 book Ship of Dreams page 37.

In my series of children's adventure stories, The Redd Rocket Adventures, the main character is a little boy named Joey. In each story, Joey climbs aboard his enchanted wagon, the Redd Rocket, and sails off to fantastic adventures in faraway places inhabited by mythical characters. Together, Joey and his wagon journey to unexplored realms in a world we all knew as children – the world of imagination. - DM

NOTE: In 1994, Dean Morrissey published his illustrated children's book Ship of Dreams, the story of a young boy's voyage with the Sandman across the night sky. The book was an instant success, winning praise from People magazine, The New York Times Book Review and others. In the years since its publication, Ship of Dreams has sold over 300,000 copies and has been translated into several languages. Redd Rocket brings together all the best features of a Dean Morrissey painting: rich, deep colors; fastidious attention to texture and detail; skilled composition and a little touch of storytelling magic.
