Biografia breu
Alma Flor Ada is an award-winning Cuban-American author of children's books, poetry, and novels. A Professor Emerita at the University of San Francisco, she is recognized for her work promoting bilingual and multicultural education in the United States.

Born in 1938 in Camagüey, Cuba, she grew up in a family of storytellers, poets, and educators, hearing traditional tales retold by her grandmother, father, and uncle. At the age of fifteen, she traded a quinceañera party for summer school in the United States, thus beginning her life as a bilingual person. After completing high school in Cuba, she earned a scholarship to attend Loretto Heights College. After a year at Barry College in Miami, she earned a Diploma de Estudios Hispanos with an Excellency Award at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She completed her Ph.D at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. She was awarded a Fulbright Scholars Exchange Grant and appointed a Radcliffe Institute scholar at Harvard University and prepared her dissertation for publication, Pedro Salinas: El diálogo creador.

In 1970, she and her four children relocated permanently to the United States. She currently resides in Marin County, California, and has nine grandchildren.

I really loved this book. I like that it was in English but it also included some Spanish too. I think some of the things being said in the story seem real and they made sense. If my grandparents were still alive they would tell me the same thing this book said. This story incorporates a lot of traditional knowledge.

Latin American Folktales are different myths and stories of Latin American cultures and traditions. There are myths and stories of creatures and fantasy worlds that have been told to different generations of people. This is a great folktale story book for children to learn about the different cultural myths and legends that people believed in or heard of before modern life evolved.

The tales in this book are great and they are filled with great moral folktales. I think each of the stories were short and sweet. From the stories that I did have a chance to read, they held a great moral message.

This was such a cute and clever retelling of famous fairytale characters. The author did such a good job at writing the letter as if the characters themselves were writing them. A very enjoyable read.
