Dreamers, written and illustrated by Yuyi Morales
This is the book that TCCL children’s librarians – including myself – chose as the best of the best in 2018. It is simply stunning: lyrical words, illustrations, and a stirring message about the power of books and reading. (If you didn’t know it by now, we children’s librarians do tend to fervently believe in the power of books and reading!)
Herman and Kate Kaiser Youth Librarian Sarah Davis speaks for them all when she writes: “It’s just gorgeous and ALSO ABOUT LIBRARIES and how we are magical, because we are. The colors are amazing, the stories are amazing, just, all of it.”
