A multicultural story of children's dreams of a better world, with stunning illustrations by award winning illustrator Concha Pasamar.

Mohesiw's wishes take shape in the jungle where he lives and plays. Amunet smiles as she thinks about her future. Juana daydreams when she cleans car windshields and, on the other side of the world, Anja and her brother Tovo search amongst mounds of trash, without ever losing sight of their dreams. The boys and girls in these short stories fly their kites and dream of a better world. Grab on to its string and join them as you fly away with the Kite of Dreams.
