Description

Conoce a las Tres Hermanas: Evelina Antonetty, Lillian López y Elba Cabrera.

Se trasladaron de Puerto Rico a Nueva York siendo niñas y crecieron para convertirse en líderes de su comunidad del Bronx. Evelina, activista de causas sociales, fundó United Bronx Parents. Lillian se convirtió en una bibliotecaria y administradora que luchó para que hubieran libros en español y bilingües, y personal hispanohablante en las bibliotecas. Elba colaboró estrechamente con Evelina y se convirtió en embajadora y defensora de las artes.

Los versos rítmicos de NoNieqa Ramos y las vibrantes ilustraciones de Nicole Medina ofrecen una conmovedora mirada a tres dinámicas agentes de cambio.

Meet the Tres Hermanas: Evelina Antonetty, Lillian López, and Elba Cabrera.

They moved from Puerto Rico to New York City as children and grew up to become leaders in their Bronx community. Evelina, an activist for social causes, founded United Bronx Parents. Lillian became a librarian and administrator who fought for Spanish and bilingual books and Spanish-speaking library staff. Elba worked closely with Evelina and became an ambassador and advocate for the arts.

Rhythmic verse by NoNieqa Ramos and vibrant illustrations by Nicole Medina provide a stirring look at three dynamic changemakers.

Critical Reviews

"This Spanish-language edition of Best Believe: The Tres Hermanas, a Sisterhood for the Common Good not only celebrates the three sisters who helped revitalize the Bronx but also doubles as a love letter to the borough itself. . . This valuable addition will inspire Latinx children to follow their dreams and appreciate their communities."--School Library Journal
