Description
Meet the Tres Hermanas: Evelina Antonetty, Lillian López, and Elba Cabrera. They moved from Puerto Rico to New York City as children and grew up to become leaders in their Bronx community. Evelina, an activist for social causes, founded United Bronx Parents. Lillian became a librarian and administrator who fought for Spanish and bilingual books and Spanish-speaking library staff. Elba worked closely with Evelina and became an ambassador and advocate for the arts.
Rhythmic verse by NoNieqa Ramos and vibrant illustrations by Nicole Medina provide a stirring look at three dynamic changemakers.

This is a well-written and illustrated nonfiction book about 3 sisters who contributed to the advancement of life in their Bronx community. I’d never heard of these Puerto Rican sisters, but I’m so glad this children’s book is teaching about them and their bravery despite adversity. I hope children from all backgrounds will earn respect for work done by “the Tres Hermanas”.
