Tomás and the Library Lady
- Tomás and the Library Lady
"Tomás and the Library Lady" is a picture book by Mexican-American writer Pat Mora, based on a true story, detailing the circumstances behind the son of a migrant farm worker during the 1940s in the Midwest United States. Feeling a little out of place since his family's move to Iowa from Texas and wanting to know more than just his grandfather's stories, Tomás stubles into a library and is welcomed by the librarian. Through her patience and understanding, Tomás develops a love for books and learning that he always wanted to have. The warm and graciousness of the librarian was a catalyst to Tomás' life-long love of learning which culminated in his becoming a chancellor at a university. Wonderfully illustrated and culturally accurate, "Tomás and the Library Lady" is a great book for a beginning reader and tells of a great story of understanding, patience and perseverance.
