"A story written as colorfully as the artist himself, The Story of
Lin Manuel Miranda was a pleasure to read. References to the cell
phones of the '80s being as big as bricks sparked fun conversations
with the 10 year old I read this with. Learning about how the hit
Hamilton started as a small idea was also the beginning of a
lengthy conversation about how taking a chance on an idea can
sometimes make a difference. I also appreciated that the book
brought in some of the colorism criticism about In the Heights, and
we were able to have a discussion about that, too. Basically a fun
book about an amazing artist that will spark conversation!" --Tonya
Leslie, author of The Story of Kamala Harris
"For children who dream outside the box and have a passion for
something that is not the norm, Lin-Manuel Miranda is the perfect
role model. Through his creativity and the unwavering support of
his family, Lin-Manuel reached the heights many would deem
impossible. Frank Berrios masterfully tells the inspirational story
of Mr. Miranda's rise to stardom. The Story of Lin-Manuel Miranda
reminds everyone, especially the Latino community, that even their
wildest dreams can become a reality." --Renee Melendez, educator
and author
"This book is an excellent resource for teachers and parents who
want to teach the inspiring story of Lin-Manuel Miranda. It is
great for read-alouds, independent reading, and included within the
book are prompts that can be a springboard for discussions or
journaling prompts. I will definitely use this resource with my own
students!" --C. Ines Mangual, teacher and former homeschooling mom
