Tomás and the Library Lady

AUTHOR: Pat Mora
ILLUSTRATOR: Raúl Colón

Tomas and Library LadyTomás and the Library Lady recalls how a young Rivera, after a long and ardous day in the fields, would listen intently to the stories his grandfather told. Soon, he knew all the stories by heart. So, his grandfather took him to the library and introduced him to the librarian and a whole new world, limited only by his imagination. Colón's warm, expressive paintings portray both the harsh realities of young Rivera's life and the special relationships he has with his grandfather and the caring librarian.

Tomás y la Señora de la Biblioteca


Tomás y la Señora de la Biblioteca recuerda cómo el joven Rivera, después de un largo y arduo día en el campo, escuchaba atentamente las historias que su abuelo le decía. Al poco tiempo, conocía todas las historias de memoria. Por lo tanto, su abuelo lo llevó a la biblioteca y lo presento a la bibliotecaria y a un mundo totalmente nuevo, limitado solamente por su imaginación. Las pinturas cálidas y expresivas de Colon retratan las duras realidades de la vida del joven Rivera y las relaciones especiales que tiene con su abuelo y la cariñosa bibliotecaria.
