The Life Of / La Vida De Pura

Pura Belpré became the first Puerto Rican librarian in New York City, and she pioneered the New York Public Library's outreach within the Puerto Rican community. A gifted puppeteer and storyteller, Belpré captivated millions of bilingual readers across New York City - and worldwide. Her children's book, Perez y Martina, became the first Spanish language children's book published by a mainstream U.S. press. She left such a lasting impact in the reading world and Puerto Rican community that the Pura Belpré Award is named after her legacy.
