Tomas and the Library Lady - Mora
Tomas and the Library Lady by Pat Mora is reviewed in Multicultural Lit for Children and Young Adults
The review begins "Tomas and his family travel from Texas to Iowa to harvest crops. He carries out water to his family while they are busy farming. On breaks his grandfather has the children gather all around and tells them stories. He tells Tomas that he is now old enough to visit the library where there are many more stories. "
