Growing up as a Puerto Rican kid in a tough New York neighborhood, author Tony Robles has seen affirmative action up close and personal. Its poisonous effects have hurt many black and Hispanic children, who learn early on that they will never get the credit they deserve for working hard and trying to succeed on their own, so why bother?
In this breakthrough bilingual children’s book, Tony Robles shows that it is personal pride, self-reliance and a love of learning, not special preferences, that are the keys to becoming not just a good citizen but a great American, someone proud of both their individual heritage and that of our great nation.
Beautifully illustrated by Jim Pryor, and translated into both English and Spanish, Joey Gonzalez: Great American will be treasured by every parent confident that their child is capable of more than their teachers say they are, and by every kid who aspires to be great.
