Description
Sometimes you read a story and it almost seems too nice. This book may seem to be one of those at first, but the difference is that this story is true!
Tom¡s and the Library Lady is the wonderfully illustrated tale of Tom¡s Rivera and the kind librarian who helped him learn to love books. Tom¡s started his life as a migrant worker and, when he died, was a university chancellor. (The UC Riverside library now bears his name.) This tribute to Tom¡s and his mentor reminds us of the power of stories and those dedicated librarians who have changed the lives of so many people. (Recommended for ages 4-8; it's great for new English readers and is also available in Spanish.)
