Synopsis: In this Spanish-language edition of Vision, a young blind activist shares how she became a leader for the disabled community. Ever since Precious Perez was a child, she has loved to sing. Her family always praised her singing, saying she could even attend Berklee College of Music one day—planting a seed that would become her dream. Precious was born two-and-a-half months premature and weighed just one pound. Her eyes did not develop fully, and she is blind. Growing up, most people focused on what Precious could not do because of her disability. With her teacher’s support, Precious realized all the things she could do with her disability—starting with attending Berklee. This Spanish-language edition of Precious’s compelling first-person narrative brings forward an empowering first-person account of a woman finding strength and purpose in her disability to a wider audience. “[A] triumphant story of a young person’s success.”—School Library Journal “Readers will be engaged by [Perez’s] honesty, tenaciousness, and belief.”—Booklist
