a wise Latina mother

At last! A bilingual picture book that is a biography of a strong family, with a very strong mother who raised another wise Latina woman, our new Supreme Court Justice. I expect this to become almost as frequently read in my 3rd grade bilingual class as La LLorona, the classic folktale.

Inspiring Story

I think I learned more about Sonia Sotomayor in this book than I did in reading about her during the nomination process for the Superme Court. Mr. Winter tells me about the person. That is much more interesting than much of the nonsense people said about her after her nomination.

Great Read and Adorable Illustrations

I feel in love with this book the moment I saw the cover. The prose are written in English and Spanish. A perfect combination since it opens the book up to various populations.
