Un tributo a la vida y al legado extraordinario de Pura Belpré, una aclamada narradora puertorriqueña, bibliotecaria y pionera de los cuentos bilingües.

La abuela de Pura siempre tiene una historia que compartir. Canta ¡Qui-qui-ri-quí! para el Señor Gallo, retumba Boróm, Boróm para el Señor Zapo, y cuenta la historia de una hermosa cucaracha que se enamora de un ratón. Pura abraza estas historias con la misma pasión con la que los coquíes se aferran a las hojas verdes.

Cuando Pura crece y se muda de Puerto Rico a Harlem, consisgue un trabajo en la biblioteca, donde se rodea de historias, pero todas están en inglés. "¿Dónde están el Señor Gallo y el Ratoncito Pérez? ¿Dónde está Puerto Rico en esas estanterías?" Pura decide compartir con los niños las historias de su tierra natal tanto en inglés como en español.

Escrito con una prosa lírica y acompañado de ilustraciones cautivadoras, Los cuentos de Pura Belpré captura el espíritu exuberante y la pasión de Pura Belpré una narradora célebre, autora y folclorista, así como la primera bibliotecaria latina en la ciudad de Nueva York. Como pionera de la narración bilingüe, Pura dio la bienvenida a innumerables familias a la biblioteca, construyó puentes culturales en su comunidad y desafió las normas al compartir historias que aún no habían sido impresas en libros, al menos no hasta entonces.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A lyrical, vibrant tribute to the amazing life and legacy of Pura Belpré, a lauded storyteller, librarian, and pioneer of bilingual story times.

Pura's abuela always has a cuento to share. She crows ¡Qui-qui-ri-quí! for Señor Gallo, Booms Borom, Borom for Señor Zapo, and tells of a beautiful cockroach who loves a mouse. Pura clings to these stories like coquíes cling to green leaves.

When Pura grows up and moves from Puerto Rico to Harlem, she gets a job at the library, where she is surrounded by stories--but they're only in English. Where is Señor Gallo? Where is Pérez the mouse? Where is Puerto Rico on these shelves? She decides to tell children the tales of her homeland in English and in Spanish.

Lyrically written, with lively illustrations, Pura's Cuentos captures the exuberant spirit and passion of Pura Belpré celebrated storyteller, author, folklorist, and the first Latina librarian in New York City. A pioneer of bilingual storytimes, she welcomed countless new families to the library, formed cultural bridges in her community, and broke the rules by telling stories that weren't printed in books--at least, not yet.

Travel size products, best sunscreen out there.
Style: Original, Style: Original
Great as always but picture is misleading a bit, this is the small travel size bottle not the full size. I should have read better, still like the set nonetheless of course. Heres a picture for comparison.

Sun Bum kit a saver!!

Great little bag full of sunscreen for my grandson. Glad we had it to take it everywhere with us. A little pricey but he needs it so instead of taking bunches of bottles we had this.

Sunscreen is great, I would t recommend the chapstick
Style: Original
Sun Bum is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It smells incredible, like a tropical vacation with that perfect coconut scent. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave you feeling sticky or greasy, and actually works! As long as I reapply every few hours, I don’t get burned, which is more than I can say for most other sunscreens I’ve tried. The face stick is good, goes on easily, but is a little greasy feeling. I do not like the chapstick, I can’t keep the taste of it out of my mouth and I feel like you have to put it on again and again.
