Video: This children’s book ‘Dreamers’ is being challenged in NC


Amid a surge in immigration policing in North Carolina, let’s talk about the children’s book “Dreamers” and the attempt to throw it out of local schools.

This past week’s reports of Border Patrol activity in Charlotte are a reminder of why immigrant stories like “Dreamers” by Yuyi Morales matter so deeply. When families are living with fear and uncertainty, books that honor their journeys should be protected — not challenged.

Dreamers isn’t just a story. It’s a lifeline, a mirror, and a reminder of the courage so many families carry every day.
