Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpr\u00e9<\/a>
\nby Anika Aldamuy Denise (Author) and Paola Escobar (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> When she came to America in 1921, Pura Belpr\u00e9 carried the cuentos folkl\u00f3ricos 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 Pura\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> The library needs a bilingual assistant.
\nPura speaks Spanish, English, and French.
\nShe is perfect for the job. <\/p>\n

But where are her abuela’s stories?
\nNot one folktale from Puerto Rico is on the shelves. <\/p>\n
