Descripción

The winter of 1929 brings a chill to cousins Hildamar and Santiago, recent arrivals in New York City from the warmth of Puerto Rico. With Three Kings Day approaching, they feel the distance from their homeland. However, an enchanting encounter with Pura Belpre, a storyteller and librarian, introduces them to the public library, revealing it as the heart of the community. The library is a place for everyone, regardless of whether they speak Spanish, English, or both. This book is an homage to Pura Belpre, New York City's first Latina librarian, whose vision and dedication brought the spirit of Puerto Rico to Manhattan in an unexpected way.
