Together with her Abuelo and Pup, Sofia loves to help those in her neighborhood, but when Abuelo falls and hurts himself at the local landfill, she rallies support from her neighbors in order to turn the landfill into a park. Sofia takes her proposal to City Hall, but she struggles to find her voice, until she remembers why she is there in the first place. With support from her community and new friends, her dream for a neighborhood park comes to life. Roberts' detailed watercolor illustrations conjure the various unique characters that are part of Sofia's world, as well as Sofia's ambition and desire to help those around her. Beaty keeps to the formula that has made her Questioneers series such a success, and her rhyming couplets convey both the anxiety and worries Sofia has, along with her spirit and courage. An inspiring story about how one voice can make a difference and how people can come together not just for something good but for something even better.

#1 New York Times bestseller! * USA Today bestseller! * Wall Street Journal bestseller!

This inspiring picture book is perfect for sharing with young readers curious about elections and ready to raise their hand and make a difference.


Children who join Sofia in her story will learn that they can help their community—or even one day become president of the United States!

Every morning, Abuelo walks Sofia to school . . . until one day when Abuelo hurts his ankle at a local landfill, and he can no longer do so. Sofia (aka Sofi) misses her Abuelo and wonders what she can do about the dangerous Mount Trashmore.

Then she gets an idea: The town can turn the slimy mess into a park!

She brainstorms and plans and finally works up the courage to go to City Hall—only to be told by a clerk that she can’t build a park because she’s just a kid! Sofia is down but not out, and she sets out to prove what one kid can do.

Told in charming rhyme, this lovely story will both entertain and inspire:
Raking the leaves, taking pets for a walk
Or just dropping by for a treat and a talk,
Sofia Valdez did as much as she could
for her family and friends and her whole neighborhood.

From Andrea Beaty and David Roberts—the beloved creators of Iggy Peck, Architect; Rosie Revere, Engineer; and Ada Twist, Scientist.
