Pam Munoz Ryan

Our author study focuses on Pam Muñoz Ryan who writes glorious books for children and they are all available on the Libby app through Overdrive. One my favorites is Esperanza Rising which tells the story of a young Mexican girl, Esperanza and her mom have to leave their privileged life and fleet to California to become migrant workers. Esperanza is used to having beautiful clothes and living a life of  luxury. She is in shock when their lives suddenly change. Her mother is a very strong woman and demonstrates how resilience is a quality that is needed in order to survive. This book is available on Overdrive and the Libby app.
