Turning Pages
About This Book
Turning Pages is Sonia Sotomayor's picture-book memoir, and the first time the Supreme Court Justice has told the story of her life for young readers. She became the first Latina to serve on the nation's highest court, and here she looks back at what set her on that path: the books she loved as a child. For young Sonia, reading was a way to make sense of everything around her. Books connected her to her family in New York and in Puerto Rico. They helped her through her diabetes diagnosis and through the death of her father. They answered her questions about how the world works, and they let her picture a future in which almost anything could happen. Lulu Delacre's vibrant illustrations accompany the text. Sotomayor uses her own history to encourage children to read, to puzzle over what they find, and to dream for themselves. The message is simple and warm: possibility is waiting for any reader willing to turn the page. It suits read-aloud sessions at home or in the classroom, and it works well for young readers curious about biography or public service.
