NEWARK, N.J. — Justice Sonia Sotomayor said reading helped her reach the Supreme Court.

 

Sotomayor on Sunday celebrated the release of her two children’s books by speaking to parents and children at the Newark Public Library in New Jersey.

 

The Star-Ledger of Newark reports she said she never dreamed she would become a Supreme Court justice because she didn’t know what one was when she was a child. She said her mother made sure books were part of her upbringing.

 

Sotomayor’s books, “Turning Pages: My Life Story” and “The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor!” examine how her family and her determination moved her through life.  /kga
