Daughter of the Light-Footed People: The Story of Indigenous Marathon Champion Lorena Ramírez by Belen Medina
informative
fast-paced
5.0
This is a bright and beautiful picture book about Lorena Ramirez, an Indigenous marathon champion. The text is short on each page with striking illustrations that have accompanying onomatopoeias, like "clip clap, clip clap" to describe her sandals hitting the ground as she runs. This aspect of the book would make it a fun read-aloud to invite kids to participate in with you!
The back matter shares more about Lorena and her Raramuri Indigenous culture.
