 About
Her Books
Pam Muñoz Ryan has written over 25 children's books.
Each of her celebrated novels tells the story of a strong
character in a specific time and place. Esperanza Rising
is about a young girl who flees from Mexico to California
to work in a labor camp. Riding Freedom is an account
of little-known heroine Charlotte Parkhurst, a girl in the
1800s who is determined to become a horse rider but faces
obstacles because she is female. Muñoz Ryan's newest
book, Becoming Naomi León, focuses on a girl
whose mother reappears after a 7-year absence. Learn about
