There’s a Coqui in My Shoe!

This adaptaion of the award-winning children’s book by Marisa de Jesús Paolicelli celebrates Puerto Rico’s national mascot, the Coquí (little tree frog). It tells the story of a young boy, Armando, who finds Carlito, a lost Coquí, in his shoe. Armando helps his new friend find his way back home to the rainforest, but he must hurry home to help his mother, Lola, sell piraguas (snow cones) in town. This adventure captures the vibrancy of "La Isla del Encanto" (The Island of Enchantment), its’ flora (plant kingdom) and fauna (animal kingdom), as told through some of Puerto Rico's iconic artists and humanitarians at landmark sites: El Morro, El Yunque National Forest, Old San Juan, Casa Rosa, and Puerto Rico’s white sandy beaches.
