Summary
"When [Afro-Indigenous eight-year-old] ] Dante struggles with nightmares, his mother believes learning his family's history will help him cope. The roots on both sides of his family tree run deep, with stories of survival through events Dante's mother calls 'daymares.'Taking discovering his heritage into his own hands, Dante finds out hard truths--but also finds a love that shines through generations,and, finally, the strength to sleep through the night"--
