RECIPIENT OF THE PURA BELPRÉ HONOR * A Today Shows Best Kids Books of 2019 * Indie Next List Pick * Junior Library Guild Selection * Sigue la vida y el legado de Pura Belpre, la primera bibliotecaria puertorriqueña de la ciudad de Nueva York. Cuando llego a Estados Unidos en el año 1921, Pura trajo consigo los cuentos folkloricos de su tierra natal, Puerto Rico. Encontro su nuevo hogar en la Biblioteca Publica de Nueva York como ayudante bilingue. Logro que sus relatos se convirtieran en libros y esparcio las semillas de sus historias por todo el pais. Hoy dia, esas semillasse han transformado en exuberantes paisajes gracias a que las nuevas generaciones de niños y cuentacuentos han seguido contando sus historias y celebrando el legado de Pura. Este magnifico retrato de la bibliotecaria, autora y marionetista nos recuerda el poder de la narracion de cuentos, y a la mujer extraordinaria que abrio las puertas y defendio la idea de la literatura bilingue.
