About This Lesson
The award-winning team of Lucía González and Lulu Delacre have crafted an homage to Pura Belpré, New York City’s first Latina librarian. Through her vision and dedication, the warmth of Puerto Rico came to the island of Manhattan in a most unexpected way in this picture book biography, and heart-warming celebration of Three Kings' Day, from Lee & Low Books.
The educator's guide includes a book summary, background, pre-reading focus questions, during-reading questions and vocabulary, and post-reading discussion questions, literature circle roles, reader-response and other writing prompts, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
My ELL students enjoy learning about immigrants and tying it to a season or holiday is helpful.
