This book illustrates the dream of a young African American child who dreams of Africa and what it might have been like for her grandparents. The pictures are in black and white and are set to a wonderful poem. The charcoal drawings have a soft, circular, fuzzy quality that feels like a dream. The pictures are well researched and reflect African culture and life. Even though the pictures are in black and white, your child will see the bright and exotic colors of Africa.
