    • ¡Ahora disponible en edición español! La congresista Bárbara Jordan tenía una voz grande, potente, y segura – ¡y sabía como usarlo! Aprenda sobre su carrera asombrosa en este libro de cuentos ilustrado que inspira con la biografía de la abogada, profesora, legisladora, y líder de derechos civiles. Aún como niña criándose en el Quinto Distrito de Houston en Texas, Bárbara Jordan se destacó por su voz potente, valiente, radiante, clara, fresca, y segura. Era una voz que causaba que la gente se sentara atenta, se enderezara y tomara nota. ¿Qué haces con una voz así? Bárbara llevó su voz a lugares donde pocas mujeres afroamericanas habían llegado en los 1960s: primero, a la facultad de derecho; luego, al senado estatal de Texas; después al congreso de los Estados Unidos. A lo largo de toda su vida, ella perseveró a través de la adversidad para dar voz a los sin voz y para luchar por derechos civiles, igualdad, y justicia. El autor superventas del New York Times Chris Barton y la galardonada del Premio Caldecott Ekua Holmes nos traen una biografía de libro de cuentos ilustrado excepcional sobre una mujer cuyas luchas y misión continúan inspirándonos hoy en día.

      Lonnie Johnson's Super-Soaking Stream of Inventions

      "You know the Super Soaker. It's one of the top twenty toys of all time. And it was an accidental discovery that brought it into being. Trying to create a new cooling system for refrigerators and air conditioners, inventor Lonnie Johnson instead created the mechanics for the iconic toy. A love for rockets, robots, inventions, and a mind for creativity were present in Lonnie Johnson's early life. Growing up in a house full of siblings, Lonnie demonstrated persistence and a passion for problem solving that became the cornerstone of his career as an engineer and his work with NASA. But it is Lonnie's invention of the Super Soaker water gun that has made the most memorable splash in popular culture."--
