Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a children’s book, her fourth, to honor her mom, Celina Báez, who died last year.
Sotomayor’s other three books have focused on her childhood in the Bronx, her Princeton education, and her confirmation on the Supreme Court, always focusing on her mother’s support and love throughout her life.
“In a story inspired by her own family’s desire to help others” the Amazon description for her book reads. “Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor takes young readers on a journey through a neighborhood where kids and adults, activists and bus drivers, friends and strangers all help one another to build a better world for themselves and their community.”
Her life hasn’t been without its challenges. She was raised by her mom after her father passed away when she was a child, living in a housing project in New York. She was also diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and has managed her illness throughout her life. “Changes in the world don’t always happen in giant leaps. It takes every one of us purposely looking at the world around us and say, how do I make it better?” Sotomayor said about her book. “If we each did that, we would be living in a better world.”
She added of what her mother would think of her latest book: “She would have been just delighted. This morning mom would’ve woken up with a big smile.”
