We the Dreamers” describes the journey of immigrating to a new place
through the eyes of a child. The narrative text is poetic and full of
emotion. The illustrations, which seem to dance and sing, convey the
story of crossing borders as a child.

This children’s picture book, told alternatively in English and in
Spanish, 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.

EXCERPT

I traveled by plane.

High in the sky.

I could touch the clouds.

Viajé en avión.

Alto en el cielo. 

Casi podía tocar las nubes.

I traveled by train.

Fast as the wind. 

Everything was a blur.

Viajé en tren.

Iba rápido como el viento. 

Todo estaba borroso.

I traveled by foot.

I could play with the wind. 

I had fun throwing stones into the air.

How did you come here?
