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 <i>bloomed</i> for the whole world to see. <p/><i>Antes de que la magistrada de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor llegara al máximo tribunal de nuestra nación, no era más que una niñita en el South Bronx. La magistrada Sotomayor no tuvo mucho durante sus primeros años, pero sí tuvo lo que contaba -- el amor de su madre, la voluntad de aprender y su propia determinación. Con valentía se hizo la persona que quería ser. Con trabajo arduo triunfó. Con un poquito de sol en un solarcito donde crecer, la magistrada Sotomayor floreció para que todo el mundo la vea.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A]s impressive and meaningful as Judge Sotomayor's sterling credentials in the law is her own extraordinary journey. -- President Barack Obama <p/> <i>Tan impresionante y significativa como las credenciales legales de la juez Sotomayor es su extraordinaria jornada. -- Presidente Barack Obama</i><br><br>Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich. -- Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor <p/> <i>Aunque me crié en circunstancias muy humildes y desafiantes, considero que mi vida es inmensamente rica. -- Magistrada de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jonah Winter is the award-winning author of more than forty nonfiction picture books that promote environmental awareness and social and racial justice.
