About ALBUELA'S LIBRARY

Alfonso and Abuela love to spend Saturday afternoons finding books at the library and reading them together beneath their favorite oak tree. But when their beloved tree is cut down, can Alfonso transform the stump into something magical for their whole community—their very own neighborhood library?

This uplifting story from award-winning poet Lissette Norman and illustrator Jayri Gómez shows us how to turn an unexpected setback into a happy ending: one with a beautiful sky-blue door and shelves filled with books for everyone to enjoy.


Lissette Norman is an Afro-Dominican cultural worker, poet and author of MY FEET ARE LAUGHING and PLATANOS GO WITH EVERYTHING. She is also co-author of the books, ON THE LINE: My Story of Becoming the First African American Rockette (w/ Jennifer Jones) and UNTIL SOMEONE LISTENS (w/ Estela Juarez). Lissette was awarded the New York Foundation for the Arts – 2018 Artist Fellowship in Fiction, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund Grant, and the Hedgebrook, Millay Arts and Martha’s Vineyard Writers residencies. She was also an Author-in-Residence for the BookUpNYC program through the National Book Foundation. Lissette received her BA in English at SUNY-Binghamton.
