Description
by Nikki Grimes (Author), Stacy Wells (Author), E. B. Lewis (Illustrator)
Renowned author Nikki Grimes and debut picture book writer Stacy Wells (Choctaw) lend their resonant voices to award-winning artist E. B. Lewis's (Lenni Lenape) rich watercolors in this story of a Black Choctaw boy who finds strength in the example and history of his ancestors.
When Dante struggles with nightmares, his mother believes learning his family's history will help him cope. The roots on both sides of his family tree run deep, with stories of survival through events Dante's mother calls "daymares."
Taking discovering his heritage into his own hands, Dante finds out hard truths--but also a love that shines through generations and, finally, a strength to sleep through the night.
Features author and illustrator notes, historical references, a glossary, and a note from Heartdrum author-curator Cynthia Leitich Smith.
