A Pura Belpré Illustrator Honor Book
Winner of the Tomás Rivera Mexican Children's Book Award Inspiring, reassuring, and beautifully illustrated, this new story from the creator of the
New York Times bestseller
Dreamers is the perfect gift for every child.
A New York Times Best Children's Book of the Year With the combination of powerful, spare language and sumptuous, complex imagery characteristic of her work, Yuyi Morales weaves the tale of a fawn making her way through a landscape that is dangerous, beautiful--and full of potential. A gentle voice urges her onward, to face her fears and challenge the obstacles that seek to hold her back.
With a voice full of calm, contemplative wisdom, readers are invited to listen and observe, to accept themselves--and to dare to shout!
In a world full of uncertainty,
Bright Star seeks to offer reassurance and courage. Yuyi Morales' first book since her
New York Times bestseller
Dreamers explores the borderlands--the plants, animals, and insects that make their home in the desert, and the people who live and travel through this unique and beautiful part of the world.
Created with a combination of techniques including hand-embroidered lettering, painting, sketching, digital paintings with textures from photographs of the Sonoran Desert, this stunning book is full of beauty--from the handwoven blanket of the endpapers through the last inspiring spread of young families facing their future with determination and hope.
A Spanish language edition,
Lucero, is also available.
