Young Langston Hughes was a dreamer. He dreamed about heroes like Booker T. Washington, who was black just like him. When he heard the clackety-clack of train wheels, he dreamed about the places it had been. But most of all, he dreamed about having a happy home. And so, one day, he began turning those dreams into beautiful prose. As he did, he discovered where his home really was?in the words and rhythms of his poetry that reached people all over the world. The beloved Langston Hughes comes to life in a book for poets, dreamers, children and adults ?anyone who has ever thought of what home means to them.
?Teachers looking for a good way to introduce youngsters to this prominent poet will find this book to be an excellent
accompaniment to his work.? --School Library Journal
?Like Hughes? poetry, the power of Cooper?s story is that it
confronts sadness even as it transcends it.? --Booklist
?His text is as inviting as his illustrations.? --The New York Times Book Review
