“What will pull young people in is that Menéndez depicts these women as children (Latinitas), both visually and anecdotally … What will keep these readers engaged is how their soon-to-be heroines bloom into their future selves on the page.” –The New York Times Book Review
“Will inspire young children to follow their own dreams … This book belongs in any child’s hands.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
