Join the American Writers Museum and the Chicago Public Library in welcoming U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to celebrate the release of her two new children’s books, TURNING PAGES: My Life Story and THE BELOVED WORLD OF SONIA SOTOMAYOR!
Sotomayor will discuss her life story, from her birthplace in the South Bronx through her journey to become the first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the Supreme Court. Her picture book TURNING PAGES, vibrantly illustrated by Lulu Delacre, shares how Sotomayor’s life was shaped and propelled forward by her family, her own determination, and the books she read. THE BELOVED WORLD OF SONIA SOTOMAYOR is the middle grade adaptation of My Beloved World, her #1 New York Times-bestselling memoir. In sharing her own story, Sotomayor encourages children to read widely and dream big.
Following a discussion of the books with AWM Board Member and former U.S. Ambassador Carolyn Curiel, Sotomayor will answer questions submitted in advance during a Q&A portion of the event.
Free, non-ticketed admission to the event is first-come, first-seated. A small gallery of images which advertise this businessEvent Date
