| A lyrical, powerful verse history of Latinos in the United States, told through diverse voices and accompanied by stunning illustrations. From award-winning poet Margarita Engle comes Dreams from Many Rivers, a middle grade verse history of Latinos in the United States. This moving narrative features a tapestry of voices, from Juana Briones and Juan Ponce de León, to eighteenth century slaves and modern-day sixth graders. Each voice speaks to the experiences and contributions of Latinos throughout American history, from the earliest known stories up to the present day. Accompanied by Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez's beautiful illustrations, this compelling portrait illuminates the enormously varied and enduring heritage of Latinos in the United States. Dreams from Many Rivers is a poignant and important work that celebrates Latino history and culture, making it a perfect choice for Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond. |
