“A fitting tribute to a fine man and a great way to engage the interest of young readers and listeners, this picture book is a wonderful reminder that some athletes deserve the hero worship they inspire.” –Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Graceful bilingual writing and warm, energetic paintings score big in this winning biography.”

–Cleveland Plain Dealer

“So Clemente is not just a story about the sports hero, who died in a plane crash in 1972 bringing supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, but also a lovely tale about family, love, perseverance and culture.” –New York Daily News

“Perdomo…strikes just the right note of precocious breathlessness, punctuating his text with Spanish to convey a people’s enormous pride in one of their own…Collier’s watercolor and collage pictures have a burnished look worthy of a heartfelt hagiography while at the same time evoking the dynamism of a genuine superstar athlete.” –Publishers Weekly

“Perdomo’s lyrical writing draws the reader in; Collier’s illustrations are a beautiful companion to the words on the page and bring the characters to life.” –Starred, Library Media Connection

"This winning tribute to a great humanitarian athlete will resonate with a wide audience." -School Library Journal
"More than just a biography, this book warmly illustrates the parent-child bond that is one of the finer by-products of sports fandom." -Booklist
