Conoce la verdadera historia de Mary Walker, la estudiante de mayor edad del país, ¡quien aprendió a leer a los 116 años! Nacida esclava en 1848, Mary fue liberada a los 15, se casó a los 20 y trabajó en muchos oficios —cocinando, limpiando, cuidando niños y vendiendo sándwiches— durante su larga vida. A los 114 años era el último miembro vivo de su familia, y a los 116 finalmente aprendió a leer. Esta inspiradora biografía ilustrada, con arte de la ganadora del Caldecott Honor Oge Mora, demuestra que nunca es tarde para aprender algo nuevo.

The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read

Discover the true story of Mary Walker, the nation's oldest student, who learned to read at age 116! Born into slavery in 1848, Mary was freed at 15, married at 20, and worked many jobs—cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and selling sandwiches—throughout her long life. By 114, she was the last living member of her family, and at 116, she finally learned to read. This inspiring picture book biography, illustrated by Caldecott Honor winner Oge Mora, shows that it's never too late to learn something new.
