About this book

Español

Tomas y la Senora De la Biblioteca (Tomas and the Library Lady Spanish Edition)

Tomás es hijo de trabajadores migratorios que viajan cada verano de Tejas a Iowa para trabajar en la cosecha. Por las noches, su abuelo, papá grande, le cuenta maravillosas historias que Tomás llega a saber de memoria. Cuando papá grande le dice que en la biblioteca hay muchos más cuentos, Tomás conoce a una bondadosa bibliotecaria que le abre las puertas a un nuevo mundo. Basado en la infancia real de Tomás Rivera, quien más tarde llegó a ser rector de la Universidad de California en Riverside, este alentador relato celebra el poder de la lectura y las bibliotecas para transformar vidas.

English

Tomas and the Library Lady

Tomás is the son of migrant farmworkers who travel each summer from Texas to Iowa to harvest crops. At night his grandfather, Papá Grande, tells him wonderful stories, and soon Tomás knows them all by heart. When Papá Grande suggests the library holds even more tales, Tomás meets a kind librarian who opens the door to a world of books. Based on the true childhood of Tomás Rivera, who later became chancellor of the University of California, Riverside, this uplifting story celebrates the power of reading and libraries to transform lives.
