💪🏽 Daughter of the Light-Footed People: The Story of Indigenous Marathon Champion Lorena Ramírez by . Illustrated by .

We’re celebrating Indigenous stories this month! And this is an incredible one. Lorena Ramírez is an Indigenous Rarámuri athlete from Mexico who wins ultramarathons (that’s 60 miles at a time) wearing traditional skirts and no sneakers but instead slippers made of tire rubber. This inspiring story had our kids in awe of the power of perseverance.

This is our November book pick for 3-6 y.o.’s.

Let’s not forget the rich history and heritage of our land as we look to celebrate with loved ones later on this week.
