**"Dream Variation," one of Langston Hughes's most celebrated poems,
about the dream of a world free of discrimination and racial prejudice,
is now a picture book stunningly illustrated by Daniel Miyares, the
acclaimed creator of *Float.
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done....
Langston Hughes's inspiring and timeless message of pride, joy, and the
dream of a better life is brilliantly and beautifully interpreted in
Daniel Miyares's gorgeous artwork.
Follow one African-American boy through the course of his day as the
harsh reality of segregation and racial prejudice comes into vivid
focus. But the boy dreams of a different life--one full of freedom,
hope, and wild possibility, where he can fling his arms wide in the face
of the sun.
Hughes's powerful vision, brought joyously to life by Daniel Miyares, is
as relevant--and necessary--today as when it was first written.
