Inspired by Pura Belpré’s first picture book, we invite you to watch an animated short, Cucarachita Martina’s Musical Adventure and to celebrate Puerto Rican folklore, music and culture. This short, telling the story of the beautiful Martina wooed by sneaky Señor Gato, whiney Señor Pato, proud Señor Gallo, sad Señor Grillo, chatty Señor Sapo, and gallant Señor Pérez, is written by the award-winning children's book author Raquel M. Ortiz. Followed by a workshop, join Raquel to make stick puppets for beautiful Martina,  proud Señor Gallo, chatty Señor Sapo, and gallant Señor Pérez.
