Description
"An inspiring picture book biography of storyteller, puppeteer, and New York City s first Puerto Rican librarian, who championed bilingual literature. When she came to America in 1921, Pura Belpř carried the cuentos folkl̤ricos of her Puerto Rican homeland. Finding a new home at the New York Public Library as a bilingual assistant, she turned her popular retellings into libros and spread story seeds across the land. Today, these seeds have grown into a lush landscape as generations of children and storytellers continue to share her tales and celebrate Pura s legacy. Brought to colorful life by Paola Escobar s elegant and exuberant illustrations and Anika Aldamuy Denise s lyrical text, this gorgeous book is perfect for the pioneers in your life."-- provided by publisher.
