"Highly recommended" --The Jewish Book Council

From social justice activist to Nobel-winning scientist to the first woman (and first Jewish!) president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum faces each new challenge by saying, "s!", "yes, I can."

Just like the migrating butterflies in Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum has grown and changed.

As a little girl, she was fascinated by nature and the beautiful mariposas that would flutter around Mexico City, signifying the coming holiday of Hanukkah. She was a dancer, an advocate for equality, and a professor of environmental science. With each new role, Claudia needed to undergo her own metamorphosis, but the challenge was worth the effort.

All her hard work brought her to the mayor's office to fight pollution, and Claudia saw yet another new path forward where she could make the laws that would help bring about more than just a change in herself, but for all of Mexico.
