Overview
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.

"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
