BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Sonia Sotomayor is a Supreme Court Justice. She has lead a life of public service, hard work, and personal growth. The Be Bold, Baby Series is peppered with great quotes, focused personal characteristics and a short bio at the end. The books are all focused on building the self-worth and goals of girls, women and any reader. The entire set should be in every library kids and teens frequent.
I love the mirror at the end of each book. It focuses the reader on strong characteristics and encourages them to look at themselves as strong, capable, and courageous. I can see teaching with this as a five minute book report or a powerful high-low book for struggling readers.
