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.

Here's a profound and uplifting new classic with an empowering message for listeners of all ages: Your story is still being written.
