Conoce a Pablo Neruda (Get to Know Pablo Neruda) by Georgina Lázaro León

Pablo Neruda was a senator, ambassador, academic, and one of the most renowned poets in literature. Despite being such an important figure, he still had a playful personality. He collected books as if they were toys. He also painted mustaches on his face, played with birds, and even had a mongoose as a pet! Want to learn about Neruda’s free spirit? Pick up a copy of Get to Know Pablo Neruda.

Conoce a José Martí (Get to Know José Martí ) by Antonio Orlando Rodriguez

José Martí was only sixteen years old when he decided to fight for his country’s independence through his writings. At just seventeen, the young writer was declared an enemy of Spain and was sentenced to six years in prison—but that didn’t stop him. Instead, it made him even more ambitious and passionate. After his years in Spain, Martí dedicated his life to liberating Cuba from its communist government. Today, he is remembered and honored. Eager to get to know this lover of liberty? Pick up a copy of Get to Know José Martí.
