(2) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Miyares. Hughes's 1924 poem "Dream Variation" serves as text. Muted gouache illustrations show an African American child in the segregated South comparing his own experiences to those of a white boy; partway through, the illustrations turn fantastical--and radiant--showing black and white children soaring on large birds, enjoying one another's company. A provocative and hopeful book that invites children to think about race relations past and present.
