There, the inquisitive Latino boy discovers the power of books and their role not only in his own life, but also in the lives of the people he loves.

A young boy is rather disappointed to receive a book as a birthday present. Then, he receives a visit from the NYPL lion Fortitude, and goes on an adventure to the library. This one gave me all of the emotions and is such a wonderful love letter to libraries and the magic of books. I read this to a few of my lions. 😁

4 🌟 There is not a librarian in the US who is not at least somewhat familiar with Patience and Fortitude, who protect the New York public library. This author has taken his love of libraries, and the iconic cats and created a wonderful story about a child remembering his love of books and his time with his grandfather. This was a lovely story with equally lovely illustrations.

A young boy is swept away by Patience and Fortitude, the New York Public Library stone lions, and shown the magic of books. I teared up a bit at the end of this one.

Read in May.
