Immigrant, American, Survivor: A Little Boy Who Gre Up To Be All Three
Following your dreams and never giving up are the main themes in this brand new children's book.
Officer William Jimeno (co-author) shares his personal journey, which began as a young boy when he and his family immigrated from Colombia to the United States of America, and followed his dream to become a police officer.
William's life took an unexpected turn when, as a rookie officer, he and other first responders answered the call to save lives at the World Trade Center on 9/11. After the Twin Towers fell, William was trapped under the rubble for 13 hours before being heroically rescued; an ordeal captured by film director Oliver Stone in the major motion picture World Trade Center.
Valuable lessons are tastefully woven together with colorful illustrations to bring to life this wonderful book, appropriate for readers young and old, and inspiring to all.
Ages 8 and up/57 pages

— Orlando Londoño, Firefighter, Englewood, NJ
