Caldecott Honor artist and six-time Pura Belpré winner Yuyi Morales’s gorgeous picture book is about making a home in a new place. Yuyi and her son Kelly’s passage was not easy, and Yuyi spoke no English whatsoever at the time. But together they found an unexpected, unbelievable place: the public library. There, book by book, they untangled the language of this strange new land and learned to make their home within it.

Dreamers is a celebration of what migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It’s a story about family. And it’s a story to remind us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own gifts wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless.

Includes a brief autobiographical essay about Yuyi’s own experience, a list of books that inspired her (and still do), and descriptions of the beautiful images, textures, and mementos she used to create this book.
