Dreamers

Dreamers is a luminous immigrant story and one of the most memorable diverse picture books about how books themselves can become shelter, language, and possibility. Yuyi Morales traces the journey of a mother and young son arriving in the United States and slowly finding space for themselves through public libraries, imagination, and persistence. Readers looking for Latinx picture books, BIPOC picture books, and stories about migration and belonging will find this title both emotionally resonant and visually distinctive. Especially useful for talking about migration, memory, language, and belonging. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page.
