The Coquíes Still Sing: A Story of Home, Hope, and Rebuilding

This heartfelt picture book follows Elena and her family in Puerto Rico as they experience the devastating impact of a hurricane. The familiar song of the coquí frogs, a symbol of home and safety, is silenced by the storm, leaving Elena and her community to face destruction and loss. The narrative beautifully portrays the fear and sadness of the immediate aftermath, but ultimately focuses on the resilience, teamwork, and unwavering hope that emerges as they work together to rebuild their lives and their beloved island. It's a powerful story about cultural identity, the strength of family bonds, and finding comfort in nature's enduring spirit.

"Co-quí, co-quí! 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."--
