We The Dreamers by Raynelda A. Calderon / #Extract #BookTour @RABTBookTours

***

“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.

Extract

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?

Thank you, Raynelda A. Calderon and RABT Book Tours

10 Hispanic Women Who Made History

Little Giants: 10 Hispanic Women Who Made History is a short collection of biographies about Hispanic women and the impact they made in the world. Some of the women featured in this book are iconic figures such as ballet dancer Alicia Alonso; others are less known heroines such as indigenous leader Dolores Cacuango, founder of the first bilingual school in Ecuador. Beautiful illustrations accompany the text to bring these women to life and inspire the young generation of readers to be leaders tomorrow.

This book is a great resource to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by reading about the history and accomplishments of these courageous women and their contributions in Latin America.
