    Spanish Description

    Parrots Over Puerto Rico

    Ganador del Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award, este libro ilustrado de no ficción entrelaza la historia de Puerto Rico con la de la cotorra puertorriqueña, que se recuperó del borde de la extinción. Durante siglos, las bellas y escandalosas cotorras y los pobladores de la isla buscaron alimentos, sobrevivieron a huracanes, cuidaron su descendencia y protegieron sus casas. Pero las cosas cambiaron y los árboles donde anidaban las cotorras fueron destruidos. En 1967 solo quedaban veinticuatro cotorras en estado silvestre. ¿Serían capaces de salvarlas? De los creadores del premiado libro El mangle.

    About the Book

    Winner of the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award, this illustrated nonfiction picture book weaves together the history of Puerto Rico and the story of the Puerto Rican parrot, a bird that came back from the brink of extinction. For centuries, the beautiful, noisy parrots and the island's people searched for food, survived hurricanes, raised their young, and protected their homes. Then things changed, and the trees where the parrots nested were destroyed. By 1967, only twenty-four wild parrots remained. Could they be saved? From the creators of the award-winning The Mangrove Tree.
