BOOK:

DREAMERS

This beautiful picture book memoir is a book about family and home which looks at the myriad of gifts that migrants bring with them when they leave their home lands and reminds us that we are all dreamers, bringing our own strengths wherever we roam.

RHYME: BUTTERFLY, BUTTERFLY

Butterfly, butterfly

Flying all around

Your wings go up

Your wings go down

Flying up high,

Flying down low,

Flying fast, flying slow!
