Your Dreams. Your Next Chapter.

Tomás can’t sleep. He has a recurring nightmare about being asked to read in front of the class. When his family moves from Texas to Iowa, he meets a librarian who introduces him to the wonderful world of books. Tomás unlocks the secret of reading, and his imagination runs wild from the stories: giant dinosaurs, ferocious tigers, and aliens from space. This is the inspiring true story of Tomás Rivera, who grew up in a migrant worker family, befriended a librarian in Iowa, and learned to love books and the places they took him. Adapted from the well-loved book, this play can be readily understood by both English and Spanish speakers.
