Sonia Sotomayor
Sonia Sotomayor: A Judge Grows in the Bronx/La juez que creci en el Bronx | Jonah Winter
4 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
The inspiring and timely story of Sonia Sotomayor, who rose up from a childhood of poverty and prejudice to become the first Latino to be nominated to the US Supreme Court. Before Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took her seat in our nation's highest court, she was just a little girl in the South Bronx. Justice Sotomayor didn't have a lot growing up, but she had what she needed -- her mother's love, a will to learn, and her own determination. With bravery she became the person she wanted to be. With hard work she succeeded. With little sunlight and only a modest plot from which to grow, Justice Sotomayor bloomed for the whole world to see. Antes de que la magistrada de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor llegara al mximo tribunal de nuestra nacin, no era ms que una niita en el South Bronx. La magistrada Sotomayor no tuvo mucho durante sus primeros aos, pero s tuvo lo que contaba -- el amor de su madre, la voluntad de aprender y su propia determinacin. Con valenta se hizo la persona que quera ser. Con trabajo arduo triunf. Con un poquito de sol en un solarcito donde crecer, la magistrada Sotomayor floreci para que todo el mundo la vea.

Finished off this short readathon with 10 hours read since I missed the first day. I included all my reading with my students this week which includes these picture books. We were wrapping up our Hispanic heritage month books and Peter Brown reads this week before we get into spooky/Halloween books.

Love this #inspiring picture book biography of Sonia Sotomayor! Lots of great information for early grade school kids and bilingual in English and Spanish to boot! She is such a powerful role model for young and old alike. #photoadaynov16 #picturebookmonth #nonfictionnovember
