About the Book

En esta adaptación para alumnos de grados intermedios, basada en su exitosa memoria para adultos Mi Mundo Adorado, la vida extraordinaria de Sonia Sotomayor, Jueza Asociada de la Corte Suprema, es una inspiración. Su logro sirve como un verdadero testimonio al hecho de que sin importar los obstáculos, los sueños siempre pueden hacerse realidad. Incluye una inserción de fotos de 8 páginas.

Sonia Sotomayor, la primera mujer hispana y tercera mujer nombrada para el Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos, era una niña cuando se atrevió a soñar en grande. ¿Su sueño? Convertirse en un abogado y un juez. Como explica la juez Sotomayor: "Cuando era niña, mi familia era pobre y no conocíamos abogados ni jueces, y ninguno vivía en nuestro vecindario. No sabía nada sobre el Tribunal Supremo ni de como su reinterpretación de la Constitución y las leyes del país afectan a las vidas de las personas estadounidenses. No puedes soñar con ser algo que ni siquiera conoces. Esa ha sido la lección más importante de mi vida. Tienes que aprender a soñar grandes sueños". Sonia no dejó que las dificultades de su pasado --entre ellas el crecer en las rudas viviendas gubernamentales del sur del Bronx en Nueva York, el lidiar con la diabetes juvenil, el soportar las graves discusiones de sus padres y el preocuparse por el dinero-- se impusieran en su camino. Siempre creía en sí misma, y su determinación, junto con la orientación de generosos mentores y el amor inquebrantable de su extendida familia puertorriqueña, la impulsaron a seguir adelante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Discover the inspiring life of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, in this middle-grade adaptation of her bestselling adult memoir, My Beloved World.

Includes an 8-page photo insert and a brief history of the Supreme Court.

Sonia Sotomayor was just a girl when she dared to dream big. Her dream? To become a lawyer and a judge even though she'd never met one of either, and none lived in her neighborhood.

Sonia did not let the hardships of her background--which included growing up in the rough housing projects of New York City's South Bronx, dealing with juvenile diabetes, coping with parents who argued and fought personal demons, and worrying about money--stand in her way. Always, she believed in herself. Her determination, along with guidance from generous mentors and the unwavering love of her extended Puerto Rican family, propelled her ever forward.

Eventually, all of Sonia's hard work led to her appointment as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 2009, a role that she has held ever since.

Learn about Justice Sotomayor's rise and her amazing work as well as about the Supreme Court in this fascinating memoir that shows that no matter the obstacles, dreams can come true.
