University Book Store and The UW School of Law Presents Sonia Sotomayor

THE MAIN AUDITORIUM FOR THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

PLEASE NOTE: These tickets are now for the OVERFLOW SEATING, which will be held in a neighboring room in Kane Hall with a live feed of the event. There will still be an opportunity to meet Sotomayor during the signing line. Please check the University Bookstore Website for the latest details as they are posted. Thank you!

University Book Store is honored to welcome back U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, moderated by UW President Ana Mari Cauce and presented by Mario L. Barnes, the Toni Rembe Dean & Professor of Law, to celebrate the release of her two new children's books, Turning Pages: My Life Story and The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor.

Through her life story, beginning in the South Bronx and leading toward her appointment to the Supreme Court, Sotomayor encourages "children with dreams" to read widely and pursue their ambitions. Her picture book Turning Pages, illustrated by Lulu Delacre, portrays how Sotomayor's family, her determination, and her love of books gave her the tools to realize her dreams. The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor is the middle grade adaption of her #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, My Beloved World. By sharing her experiences with a younger audience, Justice Sotomayor hopes to inspire ambition, empathy, and a love of reading in the leaders of tomorrow.

Sotomayor will answer a selection of pre-submitted questions during the Q & A portion of the event. Please submit your questions in advance, through the comments field of Brown Paper tickets.
