Martina the Beautiful Cockroach: A Cuban Folktale

Martina the beautiful cockroach doesnâ€™t know coffee beans about love and marriage.
Thatâ€™s where her Cuban family comes in. While some of the Cucarachas offer her gifts to make her more attractive, only Abuela, her grandmother, gives her something really useful: un consejo increÃble, some shocking advice. At first, Martina is skeptical of her Abuelaâ€™s unorthodox suggestion, but when suitor after suitor fails the Coffee Test, she wonders if a little green cockroach can ever find true love. Soon, only the gardener PÃ©rez, a tiny brown mouse, is left. But what will happen when Martina offers him cafÃ© cubano?
After reading this sweet and witty retelling of the Cuban folktale, readers will never look at a cockroach the same way again. Also in Spanish and audio, Carmen Agra Deedy delivers a deliciously inventive Cuban version of the beloved Martina folktale, complete with a dash of cafÃ© cubano.
