A highly appealing read highlighting Selena's flexibility in overcoming obstacles to achieving her dreams and her trailblazing contributions to music and her community. The Callisto Media format of encouraging critical, organized thought via questions, maps, timelines, and a glossary make this an enjoyable learning experience."" --Martin E. Delgado, community library manager ""This is the story of Selena Quintanilla, and what a story it is! In a time where young readers, and young women, need role models more than ever, this book brilliantly depicts the profound humanity, bravery, and talent of a deeply inspiring Latina woman who relentlessly fought for her dream."" --Maite Zubiaurre, UCLA professor ""What a wonderful story to inspire girls to follow their dreams.
