Gabriela Mistral loved words and sounds and stories. Growing up in Chile, she taught herself how to read, and even chose a name that felt good rolling off her tongue. She would grow to become the first Nobel Prize-winning Latina woman in the world! As a poet and a teacher, she inspired children across many countries to let their voices be heard.
This beautifully crafted story, where words literally come to life, is told with the rhythm and melody of a poem. My Name is Gabriela/Me llamo Gabriela is beautiful tribute to a woman who taught us the power of words and the importance of following our dreams. The story of Gabriela Mistral will continue to inspire children everywhere.
