Dreamers
by Yuyi Morales
Buy on AmazonGiven the dehumanizing rhetoric currently surrounding immigration, Dreamers, which radiates humanity on every page, could not be more timely. Bursting with powerful imagery, this masterful book is so many things: a family’s journey to a new country, a thank-you letter to libraries, the stirring origin story of one of today’s greatest children’s authors. But at its heart, it is a joyous celebration of humanity and the importance of the dreams that lift us up – dreams that will never be bound by borders. (For ages 4 to 8)

"In 1994, Yuyi Morales travelled to the United states from her native Mexico with her infant son. This is the story she tells in lyrical verse in this brightly illustrated and deeply felt children’s book. More an illustrated memoir than traditional children’s book, it is nonetheless accessible to all ages and inspiring as well."
