Book Synopsis



Libro ganador del Premio Texas Bluebonnet de 2022

¡Imagínate aprender a leer a los 116 años! Conoce la historia real de Mary Walker, la estudiante de mayor edad del país quien hizo precisamente eso, en este libro ilustrado por Oge Mora, ilustradora ganadora del Caldecott Honor y autora estrella de varios libros infantiles.

En 1848, Mary Walker nació siendo esclava. A los 15 años fue liberada, a los 20 se casó y tuvo su primer hijo. A los 68 años, había realizado una variedad de trabajos, cocinando, limpiando, cuidando niños y vendiendo sándwiches para recaudar fondos para su iglesia. A los 114 años, ella era el último miembro que quedaba de su familia. Y a los 116, aprendió a leer.

De Rita Lorraine Hubbard y la estrella ilustradora Oge Mora llega esta inspiradora historia de Mary Walker, una mujer cuya larga vida abarcó desde la Guerra Civil hasta el Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles y que, con dedicación y perseverancia, demostró que nunca eres demasiado mayor para aprender algo nuevo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

2022 Texas Bluebonnet Winner

Imagine learning to read at the age of 116! Discover the true story of Mary Walker, the nation's oldest student who did just that, in this picture book from a Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator and a rising star author.

In 1848, Mary Walker was born into slavery. At age 15, she was freed, and by age 20, she was married and had her first child. By age 68, she had worked numerous jobs, including cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and selling sandwiches to raise money for her church. At 114, she was the last remaining member of her family. And at 116, she learned to read.

From Rita Lorraine Hubbard and rising star Oge More comes the inspirational story of Mary Walker, a woman whose long life spanned from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, and who --with perseverance and dedication-- proved that you're never too old to learn.
