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

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

I cannot imagine what it took for Ms. Manzano to share her pre-Sesame Street life with us. I am so glad that one of her teachers saw something in her and encouraged her to audition for the performing arts high school. I am even gladder still that one of her teachers took her to West Side Story so that she could see her self on screen. Representation matters so much. Thank you so much for becoming Maria and being such a huge part of my childhood.
