Del autor ganador de la Medalla Newbery, Matt de la Peña, llega esta profundamente conmovedora oda a las infinitas posibilidades que cada niño promete:
Una joven bailarina podría convertirse un día en programadora.
Un jugador de baloncesto podría convertirse en poeta.
La chistosa de la clase podría llegar a ser una maestra inspiradora.
Y la niña silenciosa y solidaria de hoy podría ser la gran líder del mañana.
Un clásico nuevo, profundo y edificante, con un mensaje de empoderamiento para lectores de todas las edades: tu historia aún se está escribiendo.
