¡Solo brilla! Cómo ser la mejor versión de ti mismo (Just Shine! How to Be a Better You Spanish Edition)

Illustrated by Jacqueline Alcántara
De la autora del bestseller #1 del New York Times ¡Solo pregunta!, llega un cuento dulce y potente sobre cómo serte fiel a ti mismo y brillar con toda tu luz. Esta edición en español de ¡Solo brilla! pregunta: ¿Cómo ayudarás a los demás a brillar?

Había una vez una niña que creció en Puerto Rico con un don increíble: era capaz de ayudar a brillar a todos los que la rodeaban. Escuchaba y comprendía a los demás, trabajaba duro y sacaba a relucir la belleza interior de cada persona que conocía.

En este cuento inspirado por el don de su madre de ayudar a los demás a hallar su luz interna, la jueza de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor les demuestra a los lectores que ayudar a otros es iluminar el mundo entero.

Con ilustraciones por la galardonada artista Jacqueline Alcántara, ¡Solo brilla! ayudará a los lectores a hallar su propia luz interna—y a reconocer la misma en los demás.

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Just Ask! comes a sweet and powerful story about being true to yourself and shining your brightest. This Spanish edition of Just Shine! asks: How will you help people shine?

There once was a little girl who grew up in Puerto Rico with an incredible ability—she was able to make everyone around her shine. She listened, she understood, she worked hard, and she brought out the beauty in each person she met.

In a story inspired by her mother’s ability to help people see their own brilliance, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor shows readers how helping others shine makes the whole world brighter.

With art by award-winning illustrator Jacqueline Alcántara, Just Shine! will help readers find their own inner glow—and recognize that glow in those around them.
