OverviewA poignant and uplifting tale of hope and resilience for fans of Last Stop on Market Street. A Spanish edition, El atrapasuenos, is also available for purchase. Some people dream of perfect waves, fancy castles, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day. And little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins, Miguel has only one simple wish-to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don't always come to pass? Marcelo Verdad's poignant tale of hope and resilience shows how living in the here and now can be a journey every bit as beautiful as a dream.
