Poverty didn’t stop this girl from working hard, reading lots of books, and graduating top in her class. Meet young Sonia Sotomayor, the child who grew up to become the first Latina Supreme Court justice. Her life is presented through a jaunty, positive narrative and warm-toned illustrations that capture the warmth and joy of Sotomayor’s family and story.

![Necks Out for Adventure: The True Story of Edwin Wiggleskin](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0763623555.jpg?itok=2yunbHgv)
Edwin is a translucent ‘wiggleskin’ — a clam — who sheds his shell for the sake of adventure. Not only does he have a fabulous adventure but saves his clam clan from clam diggers. This quirky tale is fast-paced, funny, and illustrated in Ering’s high-energy style.

![Mr. and Mrs. God in the Creation Kitchen](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0763612588.jpg?itok=EkNQz9_G)
This offbeat and slightly irreverent original story invents a tale about the creation of the universe; it was made in the kitchen of Mr. & Mrs. God. Older readers will enjoy the humor of the verbal sparring between the duo and in the homespun look of the light-handed illustrations.
