With a poetic text and dazzling illustrations, Come Catch a Dream will appeal to every child chasing their dream, and fans of The Snowy Day, Jabari Jumps, and After the Fall.A young Black boy and his mom pass an ice rink every day. Last year, the rink bested him, and he fell down on the ice. But he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about that rink. He’s determined to do what he’s never done before: a spin on the ice. Because, as his Momma tells him, nothing is impossible.Award-winning author Brittany J. Thurman’s rich use of language and rhythm makes for a text that is perfect for reading aloud, while illustrator Islenia Mil’s vibrant artwork captures the anticipation and excitement of a winter day at the ice rink. For fans of Gaia Cornwall and Dan Santat.
