Dreamers

In 1994, Yuyi Morales embarked on a challenging journey from Yelapa, Mexico, to the San Francisco Bay Area with her two-month-old son, Kelly, as she sought permanent residency in the United States. Despite the language barrier, she found support from local children's librarians, enabling her to learn English through the picture books they shared. With lyrical verse, Morales captures the profound physical and metaphorical journeys she and Kelly have experienced together, creating a poignant narrative that resonates deeply in today's context of uncertainty for Dreamers.
