Spanish Description

The Boy Who Touched the Stars

Cuando era ni\u00f1o, Jos\u00e9 M. Hern\u00e1ndez miraba las estrellas desde su ventana y so\u00f1aba con viajar al espacio. Hijo de trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes mexicanos, se mudaba constantemente, no hablaba ingl\u00e9s y le costaba la escuela, hasta que una maestra de segundo grado convenci\u00f3 a sus padres de establecerse y aliment\u00f3 su amor por la astronom\u00eda y los libros. Jos\u00e9 se hizo ingeniero el\u00e9ctrico y, aunque la NASA rechaz\u00f3 su solicitud once veces, nunca se rindi\u00f3: por fin vol\u00f3 en el transbordador Discovery. Un libro biling\u00fce sobre la perseverancia y los sue\u00f1os.
