Al ser la primera mujer latina en ser jueza del Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos, Sonia Sotomayor es una inspiración para los jóvenes de todas las partes del mundo en la lucha por lograr sus sueños. Pero ¿qué la inspiró a ella? Para la joven Sonia, la respuesta es: ¡los libros! Eran su espejo, sus mapas, sus amigos y sus maestros. Los libros la ayudaron a conectar con su familia en Nueva York y en Puerto Rico, a aceptar y entender el diagnóstico de su diabetes, a hacer frente a la muerte de su padre, a descubrir los secretos del mundo y a soñar con un futuro en el que todo es posible.
 
En Pasando páginas, Sonia Sotomayor comparte su amor por los libros con una nueva generación de lectores, estimulándolos a leer, a maravillarse y a realizar sus sueños. Acompañada del arte vibrante de Lulu Delacre, la historia de la vida de Sonia Sotomayor  muestra a los lectores que el mundo está lleno de promesas y posibilidades; lo único que necesitan es pasar la página.
