Tomás loves stories! Grandfather tells them every night during the long summers, when the family leaves Texas to pick crops in Iowa. Before long, Tomás knows all of Papa Grande’s tales by heart and a chance encounter brings him to the local Carnegie Library. When Tomás meets the library lady, nothing is ever the same again. By the end of the summer, Tomás has gained the respect of his family, the guidance of a colorful mentor, and a lifelong love of reading. Based on the true story of Tomás Rivera, who began his life as a migrant worker and ended it as a university chancellor, Tomás and the Library Ladycelebrates the wonder of reading.
