NOTES

"A good educational book that introduces children to the activism of these three ladies. Great for reading anytime during the year, or during Hispanic heritage month. Reviewer Rating: 5"-Children's Literature "Ramos's pride and reverence exudes from out of every word. Medina's vibrant digital illustrates the powerful presence that these hallmarks had-capturing the righteous anger that drove the sisters to their to help their people. The jewel-tone palette of rich purples and teals is perfect for this tale of Bronx royalty. . . A wonderful choice for picture book biography shelves, especially where there's a gap in women's, Latinx, and activism history coverage."-School Library Journal "The art, a vibrant tapestry of jewel-tone colors that leap off the pages, creates a visual feast for young readers. Dynamic and expressive, the illustrations captivate the imagination and beautifully bring to life the warmth of the sisters' inspiring bond. Stories of important Puerto Rican women, told vividly." -Kirkus Reviews "Medina's digital illustrations have a sumptuous risograph-like quality, rendering a floral motif alongside images of "Tres Hermanas" working powerfully in concert. An author's note and glossary conclude."-Publishers Weekly
