3rd STARRED review @HornBook: “Medina’s rhythmic text is punctuated with onomatopoeia & emphasizes Ramírez’s connection to the Rarámuri traditions…glimpses of Ramírez’s daily life…strengthened by her family and her community and how she “draws energy from the earth” itself.”

Thank you for your review! @JeanneWHarvey

"Quiet as a deer.
Quick as a rabbit.
Graceful as a gazelle.

She thinks of the finish line, of her family, and of her community, not of giving up.

Fifty miles she runs." - @bmedina2012
