Biografía

Alma Flor Ada se crió con su familia extendida en una gran casa en las afueras de Camagüey, Cuba. De pequeña le encantaba leer, jugar afuera en la granja, y escuchar a su mamá cantar viejas baladas a la hora de dormir. A los 17 años, y después de estudiar inglés y asistir a escuelas bilingües, Alma logró obtener una beca para ir a la universidad en los Estados Unidos.

Durante muchos años, Alma viajó alrededor del mundo siguiendo sus intereses académicos. En España obtuvo un título en Estudios Hispanos. En Perú, alcanzó un doctorado en Literatura en Español. Su próximo paso fue llevar a cabo investigaciones en Harvard University, después de lo cual se trasladó a la University of San Francisco para dirigir el Centro para la Literatura Multicultural para Niños y Adultos Jóvenes. Con el correr de los años, Alma ha sido reconocida como una líder influencia en el campo de la educación bilingüe en EE.UU.

La carrera de autora de Alma Flor Ada nace cuando comenzó a desarrollar libros de texto para sus alumnos en Perú. Originalmente escribió su primer libro para niños para su hija, pero rápidamente se convirtió en una lectura requerida para miles de alumnos en Perú. Desde que se mudó a los Estados Unidos, Alma se desarrollado materiales educativos, recontado cuentos tradicionales y escrito libros de imágenes originales, al igual que novelas para estudiantes de nivel medio. Entre sus muchos galardones se destacan el Christopher Award por su libro The Golden Coin y el Pura Belpré Award por Under the Royal Palms.

Alma Flor Ada vive en Mill Valley, California y es profesora emérita en la University of San Francisco.

Books for all ages

Whether you are just starting to read chapter books, or have recently finished Moby Dick (insert applause, here), I have something in print you'd enjoy. Need a gift for a reluctant reader, or for a kid who devours books? I've got that covered. Want a read-aloud that will keep students asking for more? Look no further. Like to laugh or scream? You've come to the right place. All of my books are listed here. Click on any cover to find out more.

Where to find my books

My books are available in many bookstores. If your local store doesn't have the book you want, they can order it for you. Most stores are happy to do this. There is no extra charge for the service. Feel free to suggest to store managers that they order massive quantities of all my books. To find your nearest independent bookstores, click here, then enter your zip code:

If you shop online, you can find my books at the major internet booksellers. Be careful not to order the more-expensive library-bound versions by accident. Here are links to several major online bookstores.

You might also find some of my books at your local library. And you can definitely find lots of other great books there. Most libraries can borrow a book they don't have from another library. There's no charge for this service, either.

Remember to Rate

Not Right For WatchKnowLearn

WatchKnowLearn ratings are intentionally harsher than what you might find on YouTube, for example. Most of our videos have been imported by people who want to use them with kids, not by the creators of the videos. We take a hard-nosed attitude toward quality. Four and five stars should be reserved for really excellent quality. Three stars isn't bad. Two is often watchable and shouldn't be ruled out.

5 stars = Exemplary.
Unusually helpful and well produced. Do not overuse this, please; it is not the standard rating for decent work, as it is elsewhere.

4 stars = Very Good.
Very helpful but not among the very best; adequately produced, at least.

3 stars = Usable.
Reasonably helpful, perhaps a bit amateurish in production or has some other problem; there is nothing wrong with a 3-star rating for amateur work!

2 stars = Some Merit.
Minimally helpful; not completely worthless or inappropriate; you can see how it might be useful to some people.

1 star = Not Right for WatchKnowLearn.
Not at all helpful, not educational, poorest quality, etc.; you can't see it being useful to anyone.
