For Hispanic Heritage Week, Highland had the pleasure of watching the play Tomás and the Library Lady by Pat Mora, presented by Playhouse in the Park. It was such a fantastic experience for the students at Highland, especially for our Spanish speaking students because the play was bilingual.
Below is a little bit about the play.
--Tomás loves stories and knows all his Papa Grande’s by heart. As the young son of a migrant farm workers, Tomás has a chance encounter with librarian in Iowa who introduces him to the wonderful world of books. His imagination takes off as he reads book after book and discovers worlds filled with dinosaurs, tigers and explorers. Based on the beloved book, this inspiring true story celebrates reading, imagination and creativity. Both English and Spanish speakers can readily understand this bilingual play.
