5. ¡El Cucuy!


Review by Ariadna Sánchez
The Bogeyman is one of the most iconic figures in the Latin culture. In addition, La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) and El Chupacabras are folkloric characters that seduce old and new generations into a mysterious and magical world. The legends, myths, and folk stories about these unique figures gave birth to a legacy that will last forever in Mexico’s villages and cities as well as the rest of Latin America.
¡El Cucuy! A Bogeyman Cuento in English and Spanish as told by Joe Hayes and phenomenally illustrated by Honorio Robledo is a must read during the summer break.
In Oaxaca, México El Cucuy is best known as el Coco. Hayes description of El Cucuy matches the one my abuelita used to tell me “a gigantic old man with a humped back and a large, red left ear that can hear everything. And he comes to town for lazy and disobedient girls and boys.”
The tale gives young readers a bittersweet experience as the two girls are carried by El Cucuy towards the mountain. The two sisters are afraid and sorry for their behavior with their father and younger sister. One day, a boy losses one of his goats. The goat starts to bleat louder and louder right above El Cucuy’s cave. The girls plea the boy for help. He takes his jacket and uses it as a rope to rescue the girls. The girls climb up. Once free and safe the three children walk to the valley. At last, the girls reunite with their father and sister. Since that day, the two sisters are the most helpful and polite girls in town. The good news is that El Cucuy never appears again.

Joe Hayes adds at the end of the book a special note to readers and storytellers about ¡El Cucuy! Visit your local library for more amazing stories. Reading gives you wings. Hasta Pronto

6. Meet Meg, our new coworking librarian

Last month, Meg approached us with a brilliant idea: could she try to create a coworking librarian position at CoCo?

There was only one possible answer: “How soon can you start?”

You may know Meg as DotMeg or even as Meg Canada. She’s got a new mini-gig which she’s blogging about thanks, in part, to the support (though not financial) of her employer Hennepin County Library. Read more about her in her Mover and Shaker profile. Also check out this beautiful space (the St. Paul location is just as lovely but not as classic). [thanks joe!]

7. Ice-T & His Wife Land Book Deals for Debut Novels

Law & Order star and hip-hop legend Ice-T will publish Kings of Vice (written with Mal Radcliff) with Tom Doherty Associates’ Forge Books imprint in September.

This fall, the imprint will also publish Angel by Nicole ‘Coco‘ Marrow–an actress and Ice-T’s wife. Ice-T (pictured, via) has more than 83,100  followers on Twitter and is also working on a memoir.

Here’s more about Ice-T’s upcoming book: “Marcus ‘Crush’ Casey is an ex-gang leader in a New York City on the edge of social and economic collapse. He walks out of Attica Penitentiary after serving 20 years behind bars with the realization that he must be part of the solution – but first he must take back his gang from the backstabbing lieutenant who handed him over to the Feds.”

9. Coco and Coca: the pups goes astray, part 2


Knowing the dangers of the Docks..

We went home and changed clothes, the lion was not to happy with my choice of costume for her..

Me and Coco had no luck finding any information..

nor the Lion, well not of the right sort

But Coca had!

Apparently there had been quit a row at the bloody cauldron, the most notorious pub on the waterfront

Inside fear ruled, it was dead silent

All were in hiding

the bartender pointed at the heart of dread

Cocina and Martillo had finally been found!

Pure happiness

We felt great joy while heading home,

leaving behind a lot of relived pirates (and a couple of broken hearts)

And now after installing a state of the art security system, the twins will stay put

I have (in order to humor the lion) to use the mermaid suit while moving the grass

If you happen to visit Sigtuna, and dare enter the docks, you might hear the story told in a alternate version, but remember where you heard it first!

10. Coco and Coca: the pups goes astray


Cocina and Martillo, Coca and Cocos pups has grown since last we saw them

They have grown teeth

They have learned how to use scissors

Martillo and Cocina has learned how to walk

They have learned how to climb

and they have developed an interest in fast motorcycles

They have learned to play with our Chippendale heard

As every nigh Coco or Coca reads for the pups

But one morning Cocina and Martillo where gone

We searched everywhere

Soon we found out that they had escaped into Sigtuna proper, a town full of danger

We asked the Police

We asked at the sports center

We searched the petting zoo

we searched by the Triumph arch

we asked at the circus

and we looked around the temple of Electricity

But they where nowhere to be found, just one place was left to search..

A place where even the SPD (Sigtuna Police Department, known for their toughness) dare not enter

the Sigtuna waterfront...

what has happened to the pups?

Coca has disappeared, Coca and the Vet search everywhere but to no avail..

Soon everybody helps in the search for Coca

Even Asta does her part

Asta thinks that Coca is a twig so she offers little help

Totally devastated, Coco returns home

But there he hears sounds and detects motion

Coca explains that she wanted to give birth the natural way

Pure paternal bliss follows

16. Coca and Coco, the story continues

Ever since Coca and Coco met the have

eaten together

Bowled together

Tangoed together

Painted together

Even though I sometime feel that the art produced lack that certain "Coco Edge"

seeing them together melts my heart and makes it all worth while anyway

Even the lion famed for her mistrust of monkeys has buried the axe and smoked the peace pipe with them

Everything was pure bliss when

Coca gets re occuring fits of nausea... is she sick? is it serious?
