Jovita Wore Pants: The Story of a Mexican Freedom Fighter Written by Aida Salazar
Jovita always preferred pants rather than those long flowy skirts she was forced to wear. When a revolution takes hold of her country, she wishes to join her father and brothers in battle but is held back for being a woman. With dynamic and stunning illustrations by Molly Mendoza, Aida Salazar’s writing highlights the powerful story of Jovita during the Cristeros Revolution in Mexico.
