challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

Dreams from Many Rivers is an excellent middle-grade poetry collection that explores exploitation, racism, refugee status, forced changes in nationality, and other challenging topics from a Hispanic and US context. These poems brought emotion to historical figures and experiences, bringing their subjects to life. I missed out on the Illustrations because I listened to this book!
