(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carlos Vélez Aguilera. This picture-book biography tells the story of Claudia Sheinbaum, “the first woman, the first Jewish person, and the first scientist” to lead Mexico as its president. An upbeat text balances all these aspects of Sheinbaum’s identity while emphasizing her can-do spirit. Illustrations have engagingly varied compositions, and references to mariposas (butterflies) in both text and art provide a through line. Back matter includes a glossary and brief additional background information.
