An Instant New York Times Bestseller! In their first collaboration since the Newbery Medal- and Caldecott Honor-winning Last Stop on Market Street, Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson deliver a poignant and timely new picture book that's sure to be an instant classic. When Carmela wakes up on her birthday, her wish has already come true--she's finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. Together, they travel through their neighborhood, past the crowded bus stop, the fenced-off repair shop, and the panadería, until they arrive at the Laundromat, where Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement. But before she can blow its white fluff away, her brother tells her she has to make a wish. If only she can think of just the right wish to make . . . With lyrical, stirring text and stunning, evocative artwork, Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson have crafted a moving ode to family, to dreamers, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places.

Who inspires us? Students from The Young Women's Leadership School in the Bronx answer this question in this compelling collection of stories. From the student-written introduction: Every one of us has someone. That someone is a person who moves you to do your best. For example, that someone may help you win a math contest or a spelling bee. There are those who motivate us to follow the will of doing right. As TYWLS students, we selected that someone; we selected someone who we can call Wonder Woman. A Wonder Woman is someone who guides you, inspires you to be a better person, and tries to protect you from harm. These are the qualities that we encountered throughout our time with them.
