Review Praise for She Persisted: Sonia Sotomayor:"Engaging and accessible . . . The compelling story of an inspirational role model." --Kirkus Reviews"This would be a good title for a unit on pioneering women or Latinx individuals. An engaging read for elementary classrooms and a welcome addition to library biography sections." --School Library Journal Review Quote Praise for She Persisted: Sonia Sotomayor : "Engaging and accessible . . . The compelling story of an inspirational role model." -- Kirkus Reviews Excerpt from Book Dear Reader, As Sally Ride and Marian Wright Edelman both powerfully said, "You cant be what you cant see." When Sally Ride said that, she meant that it was hard to dream of being an astronaut, like she was, or a doctor or an athlete or anything at all if you didnt see someone like you who already had lived that dream. She especially was talking about seeing women in jobs that historically were held by men. I wrote the first She Persisted and the books that came after it because I wanted young girls--and children of all genders--to see women who worked hard to live their dreams. And I wanted all of us to see examples of persistence in the face of different challenges to help inspire us in our own lives. Im so thrilled now to partner with a sisterhood of writers to bring longer, more in-depth versions of these stories of womens persistence and achievement to readers. I hope you enjoy these chapter books as much as I do and find them inspiring and empowering. And remember: If anyone ever tells you no, if anyone ever says your voice isnt important or your dreams are too big, remember these women. They persisted and so should you.
