Book Description
Every child has a dream. When I was a kid, I did not have an extraordinary dream to be somebody, as I had been through the dream itself. Seems like everytime I opened my eyes from nightime sleep, I was in different places: being a citizen in some part of the world, a dream every child ever had. I was awake when I was in my homeland without knowing what I want to be in the future. I was in search for being myself and by going through 12 years working at my present job then I know what I want. I want to be what I wish for when I was a teenager: a writer. It was really my dream that I could find a book with my name written on it in every shelf of book stores. It was just amazing to think that people would read my writings and influenced other people by what I wrote. I just thought that I am not too late to reach that goal as I also found that it was not only people like myself who in search for an identity. I have been hand in hand with my office as well as the whole nation to reach what we dream for. I was born as a dreamer and Im part of a community dream. I am a dreamer..so what!

Book Description
In the first picture book written by a DACA Dreamer, Areli Morales tells her own powerful and vibrant immigration story. When Areli was just a baby, her mama and papa moved from Mexico to New York with her brother, Alex, to make a better life for the family--and when she was in kindergarten, they sent for her, too. Everything in New York was different. Gone were the Saturdays at Abuela’s house, filled with cousins and sunshine. Instead, things were busy and fast and noisy. Areli’s limited English came out wrong, and schoolmates accused her of being illegal. But with time, America became her home. And she saw it as a land of opportunity, where millions of immigrants who came before her paved their own paths. She knew she would, too. This is a moving story--one that resonates with millions of immigrants who make up the fabric of our country--about one girl living in two worlds, a girl whose DACA application was eventually approved and who is now living her American dream. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an immigration policy that has provided relief to thousands of undocumented children, referred to as “Dreamers,” who came to the United States as children and call this country home.

Book Description
We are resilience. We are hope. We are dreamers. Yuyi Morales brought her hopes, her passion, her strength, and her stories with her, when she came to the United States in 1994 with her infant son. She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn't come empty-handed. From the author-illustrator of Bright Star, Dreamers is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history. It's the story of finding your way in a new place, of navigating an unfamiliar world and finding the best parts of it. In dark times, it's a promise that you can make better tomorrows. This lovingly-illustrated picture book memoir looks at the myriad gifts migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes. It's a story about family. And it's a story to remind us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own strengths wherever we roam. Beautiful and powerful at any time but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless. The lyrical text is complemented by sumptuously detailed illustrations, rich in symbolism. Also included are a brief autobiographical essay about Yuyi's own experience, a list of books that inspired her (and still do), and a description of the beautiful images, textures, and mementos she used to create this book. A parallel Spanish-language edition, Soñadores, is also available. Winner of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award!

Book Description
What is it we all seem to want? It would seem that we all want some simple answers to a bunch of impossible questions. While there are simple answers, they are by no means easy. We just want people to tell us what we want to hear. We don't want anyone or anything to rock our boat. Isn't it a bit ironic that the very thing that we think is going to save us is also the same thing that produces the condition that we believe we need saving from? So relax, I have no intention of rocking the boat. When all is said and done, we may realize that there never was a boat to rock in the first place as well as many other timeless myths we live (and die) by. I have no intention of telling you what you want to hear. Unless, of course, this is what you want to hear. I am simply trying to put into words some things that have been burning in what I, at least, refer to as my human mind since I was a child. If this helps even one person (even if that one person is me) awaken to what is authentic and real within them, then it will have succeeded. I will let you be the one to make that call, as anything I say to this effect would serve only to persuade, and that is the last thing I am trying to do. Would you like to take a little journey? I assure you that reading this book will in no way endanger your immortal soul. Perfect Health and Clarity of Mind, --Victor

Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise. She was wrong. In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before.

As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead?
