I Dream of Trains
The poignant words of two-time Coretta Scott King Award–winning author Angela Johnson and striking images from fine artist Loren Long join forces in this heartbreaking yet uplifting picture book about a boy, his love for trains, and his adulation of one legendary engineer.
Papa says
it’s the sound of leaving
that speaks to my soul...
