Synopsis:
Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina Supreme Court Justice, is the subject of the sixteenth picture book in the New York Times bestselling series of biographies about heroes.
This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. This volume features Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina Supreme Court Justice.

My Thoughts:

Sonia Sotomayer grew up in the Bronx where she devoured Nancy Drew books which fueled her dream to be a detective. She was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of nine and later found out that she could not become a police officer or detective with diabetes so she decided to go into law instead. She went on to be a judge and the first Latina Supreme Court Justice!
This fun but educational read highlights Sonia Sotomayer's life, starting as a child determined to succeed and into the influential woman that she is today.
