SUMMARY:Family FUNday: Puerto Rican Heritage Month with author Adriana Erin Rivera
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning author Adriana Erin Rivera will be doing a reading from her book Paloma’s Song for Puerto Rico in celebration of Puerto Rican Heritage Month! The afternoon is a celebration of Puerto Rico and will include music and a Q&A! \nPALOMA’S SONG FOR PUERTO RICO: A DIARY FROM 1898 is created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Latino. It is 1898\, and twelve-year-old Paloma lives in Puerto Rico with her Papi\, Mama\, and little brother\, Jorge. They are coffee farmers\, and Paloma loves the goats\, chickens\, and fruit trees that she helps to care for. She also loves music—the song of the coqui frogs who sing her to sleep\, and the melodies from Papi’s tiple guitar. But Paloma’s world begins to change when United States soldiers invade Puerto Rico\, long controlled by Spain. What will happen to their farm\, their culture\, the island? As Paloma and her family navigate changes they can’t control\, they hold tightly to each other and hope for a better future. In diary format\, PALOMA’S SONG FOR PUERTO RICO: A DIARY FROM 1898 is a historical fiction middle grade book as part of the Nuestras Voces series which profiles inspiring characters and honors the joys\, challenges\, and outcomes of Latino experiences. \nFamily FUNday is sponsored by the Hoboken Public Library Friends & Foundation.
