Dreamers

Description

Dreamers by Yuyi Morales is a luminous picture‑book memoir about migration, motherhood, and the life‑changing magic of libraries. Crossing a bridge from Mexico to the United States with her infant son, Morales brings what she carries—fuerza, stories, and hope—and discovers a new home in books. With breathtaking art and spare, poetic text, this modern classic celebrates what migrants bring and what they find.
