n, la familia de Ernestine Guerrero no tenía mucho.

La adolescente estadounidense de origen mexicano estaba tan agradecida por la ayuda alimentaria que el gobierno enviaba a San Antonio, Texas, que deseaba expresarle personalmente su gratitud al presidente Roosevelt. Pero cómo? Después de ver los planos de un proyecto muy difícil para crear en madera, decidió que lo haría ella misma y se lo enviaría al presidente. Pieza a pieza, eso fue exactamente lo que hizo. Y la caja de reloj que construyó continúa en exhibición en la Biblioteca Presidencial Roosevelt hasta hoy en día.

Con maravillosas ilustraciones de Anna López Real, este libro ilustrado relata la inspiradora historia verdadera de una chica que demostró que, si observas con atención, pueden encontrarse tesoros en lugares inesperados.

During the Great Depression, Ernestine Guerrero's family didn't have much. The Mexican American teen was so grateful for the government food aid they received in San Antonio, Texas, that she wanted to personally thank President Roosevelt. But how? After seeing the plans for a very difficult woodworking project, she decided she would make it herself and send it to the president. Piece by piece, that's exactly what she did. And the clock case she built remains on display in the Roosevelt Presidential Library to this day.

This picture book tells the inspiring true story of a girl who proved that if you look closely, treasure can be found in unexpected places. Now in Spanish!
