SHAKE IT, MORENA!
and other folklore from Puerto Rico
Carmen T. Bernier-Grand
Illustrated by Lulu Delacre

A potpourri of games, songs, rhymes and stories, all from Puerto Rico. The book follows a little girl through her day, from awakening in the morning to school to play time, through dinner and homework, and then off to bed. Each phase of the day involves a different song or game or story springing from the local culture. Lulu Delacre’s vibrant illustrations pull you right into the scene and make you feel like you’re part of the island’s life.
Carmen T. Bernier-Grand often appears at conventions and at schools talking on children’s books, and more specifically Hispanic children’s books. She was born in Puerto Rico and now lives in Portland, Oregon. Lulu Delacre, also born in Puerto Rico, is a well known artist whose work has been exhibited in many countries. She lives in Silver Spring, Maryland
