Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré
Learn about the librarian who started it all with this picture book biography about Pura Belpré. The narrative begins in 1921, the year Belpré moves to New York, and follows her journey to becoming a bilingual assistant at the public library. There she introduces the library’s visitors to Puerto Rican folktales during the children’s story hour, and the rest is history—a history that hopefully will only become more widely known thanks to books like this one.
