Sofia — Patricia Martin

Sofia was the smartest girl in school. Because she was so bright, school felt slow and boring to her. To escape the slowness of her days, she escaped into her books. Every day, she read as much as she could to enjoy the thrill of learning new skills, expanding her imagination, and discovering wondrous details about the world around her. Sofia is a story that captures a problem that many children face-boredom-and introduces them to the solution of reading books for learning and entertainment. All people face barriers and challenges in life, so teaching children how to apply positive solutions to their problems helps them to thrive. The book Sofia takes readers through how to escape life's problems by jumping into the magic of a book. This book is a celebration of culture, history, art, and language. Sofia is written in English and Spanish. It features original paintings by Denver artist Colleen Hennessy.
