Dreams--those of the night and those of the future--are the theme of this peaceful book. Peaceful in a lullaby sort of way, and in the dreaming of peace in our world sort of way. What a wonderful way to place these two ideas side by side. My favorite: "daydreaming--/another way/of brainstorming."

A bilingual collection of poems that touch on both American and Mexican culture, Poems to Dream Together celebrates family, community, and nature. With the theme of dreams, these poems would be great for students that enjoy poetry, and good read-alouds for students who are still hesitant about it.
