"Dream Variation," one of Langston Hughes' poems about the dream of a world free of discrimination and racial prejudice is now a picture book. To fling my arms wide In some place of the sun, To whirl and to dance Till the white day is done.... Follow one African-American boy through the course of his day as the harsh reality of segregation and racial prejudice comes into vivid focus. But the boy dreams of a different life—one full of freedom, hope, and wild possibility, where he can fling his arms wide in the face of the sun.
