Dreamers

We are resilience. We are hope. We are dreamers.
 
Upon arriving in the United States in 1994 with her infant son, Yuyi Morales brought her hopes, passion, strength, and stories, leaving behind nearly all of her belongings. She did not come without anything.

Dreamers celebrates making a home with what you carry - resilience, dreams, and history. It's about discovering your way in a new place and finding its best parts. In tough times, it's a promise that you can create better tomorrows. This illustrated memoir explores the gifts migrants bring when they leave their homes. It's a family story that reminds us we are all dreamers, bringing our strengths wherever we go. With beautiful and powerful illustrations and a timeless message, this book is both topical and relevant.
