Synopsis
Young Langston Hughes was a dreamer. He dreamed about heroes like Booker T. Washington, who was black just like him. When he heard the clackety-clack of train wheels, he dreamed about the places it had been. But most of all, he dreamed about having a happy home. And so, one day, he began turning those dreams into beautiful prose. As he did, he discovered where his home really was--in the words and rhythms of his poetry that reached people all over the world. The beloved Langston Hughes comes to life in a book for poets, dreamers, children, and adults--anyone who has ever thought of what home means to them. "Teachers looking for a good way to introduce youngsters to this prominent poet will find this book to be an excellent accompaniment to his work." -- School Library Journal "Like Hughes' poetry, the power of Cooper's story is that it confronts sadness even as it transcends it." -- Booklist "His text is as inviting as his illustrations." -- The New York Times Book Review

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
