Book Overview

Gabriela Mistral loved words and sounds and stories. Born in Chile, she would grow to become the first Nobel Prize-winning Latina woman in the world. As a poet and a teacher, she inspired children across many countries to let their voices be heard. This beautifully crafted story, where words literally come to life, is told with the rhythm and melody of a poem. The second in Luna Rising's bilingual storybook biography series. My Name is Gabriela/Me llamo Gabriela is beautiful tribute to a woman who taught us the power of words and the importance of following our dreams. The story of Gabriela Mistral will continue to inspire children everywhere.

Culture and Story

It is a pleasure to find a book in two languages that is so well done. The story is interesting and the illustrations are wonderful.

And this is her story; the story of the first Latin American writer (she was born in Chile) to receive (in 1945) the Nobel Prize for Literature.
