This Is the Dream

Overview
Commentary
Paying homage to the civil rights movement, this beautifully illustrated picture book traces 20th-century American history with a rhyming text that opens with a segregated country and closes with the integrated nation that exists today. With a good use of primary colors, well laid-out collage art, and evocative paintings, the narrative travels from the infamous white/colored water fountains and hatefully partitioned buses to the beginnings of school integration and beyond.

Publisher's Notes
A powerful tribute with rousing, inspiring text and gorgeous illustrations commemorates the American experience before, during, and after the Civil Rights Movement.

Reviews
"These images will make a strong impression on readers of this expository chronicle of events preceding, during and following the civil rights movement, as Ransome's artwork makes large ideas comprehensible through visual details."

"[E]ven children unfamiliar with the struggle's origins and landmark events will come away with profound appreciation for its nonviolent methods, and for its dream of 'freedom and justice for all.'"

"The rhythmic verse tells the story of the civil rights struggle with simplicity and power, while the images bring the concepts home in a way that children will see and feel. An excellent resource for discussing the changes of the civil rights era as they benefit all Americans."
