She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn't come empty-handed. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the author-illustrator of \u003ci\u003eBright Star, Dreamers\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history. It's the story of finding your way in a new place, of navigating an unfamiliar world and finding the best parts of it. In dark times, it's a promise that you can make better tomorrows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lovingly-illustrated picture book memoir looks at the myriad gifts migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It's a story about family. And it's a story to remind us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own strengths wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe lyrical text is complemented by sumptuously detailed illustrations, rich in symbolism. Also included are a brief autobiographical essay about Yuyi's own experience, a list of books that inspired her (and still do), and a description of the beautiful images, textures, and mementos she used to create this book. \u003cbr\u003e A parallel Spanish-language edition, \u003ci\u003eSoñadores, \u003c\/i\u003e is also available.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinner of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award!\u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \/ New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecipient of the Flora Stieglitz Strauss Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA 2019 Boston Globe - Horn Book Honor Recipient\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Anna Dewdney Read Together Honor Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed a Best Book of 2018 by Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Shelf Awareness, NPR, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, Salon.com-- and many more!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Junior Library Guild selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Eureka!
