The Dream Catcher by Marcelo Verdad. PICTURE BOOK Little, Brown, 2024. $19. 9780316330664
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Little Miguel sells the dream catchers he has made on the beach with his grandfather (who sells coconuts). Miguel dreams of having an airplane one day, and wonders what others dream about.
The Dream Catcher is beautifully illustrated in digital collage. The sunset on the beach is marvelous. The boy is being raised by his grandfather, and the relationship is so sweet. I loved how Verdad talks about dreams coming true and having faith and that small dreams are important too.
Miguel and his grandfather are Indigenous Mexican
