Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From award-winning poet Margarita Engle comes Dreams from Many Rivers , an middle grade verse history of Latinos in the United States, told through many voices, and featuring illustrations by Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez.

From Juana Briones and Juan Ponce de León, to eighteenth century slaves and modern-day sixth graders, the many and varied people depicted in this moving narrative speak to the experiences and contributions of Latinos throughout the history of the United States, from the earliest known stories up to present day. It's a portrait of a great, enormously varied, and enduring heritage. A compelling treatment of an important topic.

Includes historical note.

Part one: Freedom -- Part two: Survivors -- Part three: Independence for some -- Part four: Heroes -- Part five: ¡Sí se puede! Yes, we can! -- Part six: For our lives.
