Summary
Aurora la Doctora is about an immigrant student bullied in school because of her poor English skills. Her dear sister Sofi gets seriously ill, forcing Aurora to help her parents navigate Sofi's care, often serving as an interpreter. This experience shows Aurora how her improving language and cultural skills can help others in her community who do not have access to Spanish-speaking doctors. Despite the heartbreaking words of her school counselor, who tells her that she is not 'college material, ' Aurora discovers that her heritage is her superpower. In real life, Aurora is training to become a primary care doctor and planning to practice medicine in areas with high Hispanic/Latinx populations.
Only 6% of medical school matriculants are Hispanic/Latino. Share this book with a loved one or donate a copy to a local school. Together we can change the statistics
'The reality of many Hispanic/Latino children who lack role models and face discouragement in pursuing careers in medicine and science is portrayed in a colorful, beautifully illustrated, fun, rhyming picture book full of hope and encouragement. This book now comes to life in audio format, striking a perfect balance between being entertaining and true to life.'
