The first Puerto Rican to be hired by the New York Public Library, Pura Belpré was instrumental in shaping that institution's services for Spanish-speaking New Yorkers, as well as introducing - through her own writing - English-speaking children to the folklore of her native island. The Pura Belpré Award, which recognizes the work of Latino/Latina children's authors and illustrators, was named in her honor.
In this picture-book - my first by Belpré, but hopefully not my last - the author recalls a tale told to her by her grandfather, producing an exciting and vivid narrative. Paul Galdone's illustrations are colorful and attention-grabbing, although I found them a little dated. Still, Oté was an engaging book, both textually and artistically, and has left me with a desire to read more of Pura Belpré's folktale retellings. ( )
