Ages 4 to 8 years. On a school field trip, fourth-grader Nehemiah falls asleep in an old graveyard and dreams of scenes from long ago. Brightly colored illustrations celebrate the great beauty of the boy's dream of the Egyptian pyramids, provide a fleeting glimpse of a slave ship on the ocean, and follow Nehemiah's footsteps as his dream sets him down on an American plantation. There, he meets a slave boy named Moses and his kind mother, and is invited to spend the night. When the teacher finds and wakes Nehemiah, he walks with her to the school bus and tells his dreams, which have made him feel happy and close to the people of past centuries.
