NOT JUST A DREAM tells how a little girl reacts to a new Hispanic student. She has many questions, but she has already decided that the new student will not "fit" into the class. After she dreams about the day, she realizes that she had not shown tolerance to someone who is not like her. She feels much better when she interacts with the new student and finds out that they are a lot alike.
