Sonia Sotomayor illustrated by Alison Oliver - ADVISABLE

Sonia Sotomayor (Be Bold Baby), illustrated by Alison Oliver. BOARD BOOK. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019. $10. 9781328519955

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.
