Book
The coquíes still sing / story by Karina Nicole Gonzalez ; illustrations by Krystal Quiles.
"The coquí frogs sing to Elena from her family's beloved mango tree--their calls so familiar that they might as well be singing, "You are home, you are safe." But home is suddenly not safe when a hurricane threatens to destroy everything that Elena knows. As time passes, Elena, alongside her community, begins to rebuild their home, planting seeds of hope along the way. When the sounds of the coque̕s gradually return, they reflect the resilience and strength of Elena, her family, and her fellow Puerto Ricans."-- From publisher's description.
