Claudia Said Sí!

The Story of Mexico's First Woman President

The first woman, first Jewish person, and first scientist to become president of Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum gets her due in this biographical picture book about believing in yourself, in your dreams, and in a better world for all. The arrival of mariposas (butterflies) in Mexico City heralded Hanukkah in Claudia’s youth; as she got older, their dwindling numbers signaled a crisis she sought to avert. From Nobel Peace Prize winner to mayor to president, this book tracks a remarkable woman’s remarkable life.
