Description
Martina the Beautiful Cockroach: A Cuban Folktale is a charming retelling of a traditional Cuban folktale. In this inventive version, Martina Josefina Catalina Cucaracha navigates the complexities of love and marriage with the help of her wise Abuela. When suitors come calling, Martina must decide how to handle their advances. Her Abuela offers some unconventional advice: spill coffee on his shoes to see how he handles anger. As Martina tries out this test on each suitor, she begins to wonder if a little green cockroach can ever find true love. This engaging story is a fresh take on a beloved Cuban folktale, complete with a dash of café Cubano.
