Becoming Maria: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx by Sonia Manzano

3.0

Maria was one of my favorite characters on Sesame Street when I was watching it in the early 70s. And again in the early 80s during my babysitting years. I was glad to find this book, though I'd loved to have read about her time on Sesame Street. This is strictly childhood thru college.
BONUS! Sonia who plays Maria is also Sonia who sang "Turn Back O Man" in the original cast of Godspell, a record that I grew up listening to. This is something I only recently discovered and I was delighted to get a chapter from her about that experience!
