“This Spanish-language edition of Best Believe: The Tres Hermanas, a Sisterhood for the Common Good not only celebrates the three sisters who helped revitalize the Bronx but also doubles as a love letter to the borough itself. . . This valuable addition will inspire Latinx children to follow their dreams and appreciate their communities.”—School Library Journal
