Bookroo's summary
In a village nestled among Oaxaca's mountains, a young boy questions the disparity between beauty and poverty. As Benito Juárez grows, so does his resolve to change his homeland. Journey with him from humble beginnings to the presidency of Mexico, where his unwavering belief in justice fuels a quest for transformation. Can one man's determination alter the fate of a nation? Discover a tale of hope and resilience that challenges the status quo and inspires change.
From the publisher
From the incredible illustrator of Dreams from Many Rivers comes the story of Benito Juárez, a man who devoted himself to his country and became president of Mexico. Juárez grew up in a village filled with orange trees, surrounded by the mountains of Oaxaca. As he got older, he wondered: How could such a paradise be home to hungry children, temples in ruins, and shacks made out of straw and branches? Armed with a deep-seated belief in justice, he set out to make a difference. Following Juárez from his childhood to his career in politics, this is a story of hope and determination. Godwin Books
