When she came to America in 1921, Pura Belpr carried the cuentos folklricos of her Puerto Rican homeland.

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 with Paola Escobars fresh, exuberant, and elegant illustrations and Anika Aldamuy Denises lyrical text, this portrait of the influential librarian, author, and puppeteer reminds us of the power of storytelling and the extraordinary woman who opened doors and championed bilingual literature.
Includes an authors note that gives context to Puras achievements, which forever influenced educators roles as teachers, storytellers, and active members of the community. Theres also a selected bibliography, further reading, and more.
