Join us for stories, play, and fun inspired by Pura Belpré — the first Puerto Rican librarian at the New York Public Library and a master of folktales and puppetry.
Belpré’s legacy lives on through an award named in her honor, given each year to Latine writers and illustrators whose work celebrates the Latine experience in children’s literature. Celebrate her legacy with activities that honor her storytelling spirit. Please wear clothes and shoes that can get messy.
Appropriate for ages 2–6 and their caregivers. This self-guided program will include signs in English and Spanish. No advanced registration necessary.
