We the Dreamers

"We the Dreamers" describes the journey of immigrating to a new place through the eyes of a child.

Told alternatively in English and in Spanish, this picture book highlights all the emotions immigrants experience throughout their journey: the characters end up feeling mystified, bemused, or even bewildered upon entering the United States.

Using colorful, imaginative illustrations and poetic narrative, "We the Dreamers" connects with its readers in an emotional and compassionate way, and it opens up the floor to holding conversations about immigration with children.

As the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this story will uplift you in a compassionate and emotional way. Also included in the book is a brief autobiographical essay about the author's own experience coming to the United States.
