Inspirada en el bestseller #1 del New York Times Ella persistió / She Persisted de Chelsea Clinton y Alexandra Boiger, llega esta serie en Chapter Books sobre mujeres que sobresalieron, lucharon y se levantaron contra viento y marea, como Pura Belpré. Pura Belpré se mudó de Puerto Rico a la ciudad de Nueva York y se hizo bibliotecaria en un momento en que las bibliotecas estaban llenas de sólo libros en inglés. Pero ella sabía que a las personas hispanohablantes también les encantaría poder ir a las bibliotecas, por lo que persistió en implementar programas y libros bilingües en las bibliotecas de toda la ciudad. Ella también escribía sus propias historias y tradujo cuentos puertorriqueños al inglés para que pudieran llegar a un público más amplio. Pura Belpré cambió la manera en que las bibliotecas se acercaban a los lectores y les dio a las comunidades hispanas de toda la ciudad, y del país, la oportunidad de acercarse a los libros y formar ahí un tipo de comunidad que nunca antes habían tenido. En este libro biográfico escrito por la galardonada autora bestseller Meg Medina, los lectores aprenderán sobre la increíble vida de Pura Belpré y cómo ella persistió. ¡El libro incluye una introducción de Chelsea Clinton, ilustraciones en blanco y negro y una lista de maneras en que los lectores pueden seguir los pasos de Pura Belpré y así marcar la diferencia! ¡Y no te pierdas los demás libros de la serie She Persisted, con muchas otras mujeres que persistieron, como Coretta Scott King, Harriet Tubman, Sonia Sotomayor, Malala Yousafzai, Diana Taurasi y otras más!ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Pura Belpré!
Pura Belpré moved from Puerto Rico to New York City and became a librarian at a time when libraries were filled with only English language books. But she knew that Spanish speakers would love to make use of the libraries too, and so she persisted in implementing bilingual programming and offerings in libraries across the city. She also wrote stories of her own and translated Puerto Rican tales into English to bring them to wider audiences. She changed the way libraries reach readers and gave Spanish speakers across the city and the country the opportunity to read and find community in ways they never had before. In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author Meg Medina, readers learn about the amazing life of Pura Belpré--and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Pura Belpré's footsteps and make a difference! And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series, featuring so many more women who persisted, including Sonia Sotomayor, Diana Taurasi, Malala Yousafzai, and more!

Beautiful color, super soft and shaggy!
Size: Throw50" x 60", Color: Olive Green, Size: Throw50" x 60", Color: Olive Green
This throw was purchased for the bed of a 15 year old who is going for a cozy, earthy aesthetic in his room. This throw is a deep rich green. It reminds me of grass with the length of the shag and of moss with the color. The back side of the blanket is smooth and soft. It is worth noting that depending on how the blanket lays, you can see the fabric underneath as the fibers part. (See photo.) It laundered well in the washing machine. There was no color bleeding or shedding. I dried it in the dryer on extra low. The fibers didn't pill or knot like fleece does. (All of the photos were taken after laundering.)
I am very happy with the throw it adds texture and depth to the bed. I would purchase this item again!

Incredibly soft
Size: Throw50" x 60", Color: Black
This is so soft and silky. The throw size works fine on my bed, since I love wrapping myself in it and snuggling down. It’s really warm, too.
