“I dream a world where no one will scorn“

This book can link to my teaching in the classroom by promoting discussions about dreams, aspirations, and self-expression, allowing students to connect their personal goals to broader societal themes. It also encourages creativity and imagination, which are essential elements in fostering a love for reading and learning.

This is a children‘s picture book published in 1996 that celebrates the aspirations and dreams of young people through the lens of Langston Hughes‘s powerful poetry. The book combines illustrations with Hughes's inspiring words, encouraging children to believe in their dreams and work towards achieving them.

I have a dream, A dream that is mine

I would not use this book in my classroom

I enjoyed this book and it‘s message. The illustrations were well done

“In the face of the sun, dance! Twirl! Whirl!“

The illustrations added to Langston Hughes “Dream Variation“ in That Is My Dream! Is a great addition to the words and help create a better picture of what Langston is saying.

That Is My Dream by Langston Hughes (2017) is one of Langston's most celebrated poems, “Dream Variation.“ It is a dream about a world free of discrimination and racism that was turned into a picture book with the help of illustrator Daniel Miyares. The illustrations bring the words to life and are a wonderful addition to the poem.
