Del autor ganador de la Medalla Newbery Matt de la Peña y de la ilustradora bestseller del New York Times Corinna Luyken llega esta oda profundamente conmovedora a las posibilidades infinitas dentro de cada niño y niña:
 
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.
