Description
An Indie Next List Pick! “An appealing tribute and successful remedy to the lack of titles about the groundbreaking librariana must-have for all libraries.” School Library Journal (starred review). An inspiring picture book biography of storyteller, puppeteer, and New York Citys first Puerto Rican librarian, who championed bilingual literature. When she came to America in 1921, Pura Belpre carried the cuentos folkloricos 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 Puras legacy. Brought to colorful life by Paola Escobars elegant and exuberant illustrations and Anika Aldamuy Denises lyrical text, this gorgeous book is perfect for the pioneers in your life. Informative backmatter and suggested further reading included. A Spanish-language edition, Sembrando historias: Pura Belpre: bibliotecaria y narradora de cuentos, is also available.
