Free A Library For Juana: The World Of Sor Juana Ines Ebooks Online
When Juana Inés was born in Mexico in 1648, she fell in love with her grandfather's books and followed her sister to school and peeked in the window, begging the teacher to be allowed to stay so she could learn how to read. Soon she was making up stories, songs, and poems. She loved learning, she loved reading, and she couldn't wait to have her own collection of books! Eventually, Juana went on to become a nun known as Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and she devoted her life to writing, learning and words. Sor Juana Inés is revered as one of the most brilliant writers in Mexico's history: her poetry is recited by schoolchildren throughout Mexico and is studied at schools and universities around the world. The incredible story of her life full of knowledge, achievement, and inspiration is lovingly told by the renowned children's book author Pat Mora and gorgeously illustrated by Beatriz Vidal.

This book tells the story of Juana Ines de la Cruz, a Mexican author. She loved to learn from a very young age and this book does a wonderful job capturing that childlike want and need to learn everything. It started with a single question, "Why?" and grew from there. As a child Juana Ines de la Cruz never gave up wanting to learn more even when society and her family told her she wouldn't be able too. She went on to become a nun and a famous author who truly loved and enjoyed knowledge. The author was able to make a book about a real character entertaining and enjoyable for many ages. As an avid reader, I connected with her feeling of wanting to surround herself in the books and stories. Even a young student can relate to the pull of learning and asking questions about everything. The illustrations stretch out from the picture giving this almost fairy tale feeling even when it is about a real person. I felt the illustrations also captured Juana Ines de la Cruz's view of the world, every picture is vivid and bright and full of life.
This book is so lovely. A positive book for any child to read, especially young Latina girls. The book tells how Juana Inés always loved learning and eventually became a renowned scholar. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful as well! I love to give this book as a birthday gift to the little ones in my life.
there wasn't any mention the this book was a withdrawal from a library, so the book had barcodes, spine labels, and stamps on the inside.
