El puentecito azul (The Little Blue Bridge)

by Brenda Maier, Sonia Sánchez (Illustrator)

Overview

The can-do heroine from the acclaimed The Little Red Fort returns in this fresh, feminist spin on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

La cabeza de Ruby siempre está llena de ideas.

Un día ve unos arándanos del otro lado del riachuelo e invita a sus hermanos a recoger algunos. Desafortunadamente, el temible Santiago bloquea el puente.

Uno a uno, los hermanos cruzan el puente corriendo tras jurarle a Santiago que el hermano siguiente tiene una mejor merienda. Cuando finalmente llega el turno de Ruby, ella se niega a dejarse intimidar y crea su propia vía para cruzar el riachuelo.

Ruby's mind is always full of ideas.

One day, she spies some blueberries across the creek and invites her brothers to pick some. Unfortunately, the bridge is blocked by scary Santiago.

One by one, the brothers scamper across, promising Santiago that the next sibling has a better snack. When at last it's Ruby's turn, she refuses to be bullied and creates her own way to cross the creek.
