Grandes Dreamers, written by Argelia Atilano and features the bright and vivid art of Anna Alvarado, is the perfect addition to your family library. The book celebrates the life, journey, impressive careers, and groundbreaking milestones of goal-driven Latina women born in the United States of America during the twenty and twenty-first centuries. The twelve in-depth, powerful, and heartfelt stories found in Grandes Dreamers, highlight each notable figure’s upbringing, childhood, cultural background, and the adversity they faced and endured in pursuit of their dreams. The 12 Grandes Dreamers highlighted in the book include Ellen Ochoa, Laurie Hernández, Selena Quintanilla Pérez, Sonia Sotomayor, María Elena Salinas, Olga Custodio, Sandra Cisneros, Jennifer Lopez, Dolores Huerta, Rita Moreno, Sylvia Acevedo, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
I love that Grandes Dreamers is written in both English and Spanish. The author Argelia said that creating a bilingual book was a way of honoring and preserving our mother tongue. I can’t wait to receive a copy of Grandes Dreamers for our family library. I know that my girls will be inspired by the 12 featured Latina leaders who have pursued their dreams while facing adversities.
