Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this captivating adaptation of Yuyi Morales’s beloved picture book, Dreamers. Adriana Sananes narrates the simple text with a hopeful spirit, mirroring the tale of a young family coming to America and finding themselves unintentional migrants. Lilting guitar music, the giggles of a baby, wind chimes, and more sound effects set the scenes as Morales tells of exploring a new country, and the joys of finding the free public library. Listen with the book in hand to enjoy the award-winning illustrations from Morales. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
