From award-winning poet Margarita Engle comes Dreams from Many
Rivers, an middle grade verse history of Latinos in the United States,
told through many voices, and featuring illustrations by Beatriz
Gutierrez Hernandez.
From Juana Briones and Juan Ponce de León, to eighteenth century slaves
and modern-day sixth graders, the many and varied people depicted in
this moving narrative speak to the experiences and contributions of
Latinos throughout the history of the United States, from the earliest
known stories up to present day. It's a portrait of a great, enormously
varied, and enduring heritage. A compelling treatment of an important
topic.
