\nComing to shelves early next month will be a new picture book from Yuyi Morales<\/a><\/strong>, called Dreamers<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (Neal Porter Books). In this splendid picture book \u2014 have mercy, it is a beautiful thing \u2014 she tells her own immigration story.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to say much about the book today, because I will be writing about it soon for BookPage<\/em>. (When I do so, I will link to that here from 7-Imp.) But today, I’m giving 7-Imp over to Yuyi, who is sharing a photo essay about the making of this book. (This is very similar to what she did here<\/a><\/strong> in 2014 for the making of Viva Frida<\/em>, and that is one of my favorite posts in over a decade of blogging.) <\/p>\n

I thank Yuyi for sharing. You can click on each image in this post, especially if you want to see larger versions of some of them. <\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n
