The Song of the Coquí

There are 17 species of coquí frogs native to Puerto Rico. Yes, that’s right 17! Chi Chi Rodriguez Books welcomes a new addition to Carlito the Coquí’s family, the Juan A. Rivero’s Coqui! This new species of coquí frog was discovered after the first printing of There’s a Coquí in My Shoe! in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, and we’ve included this cute, little guy in our subsequent printings! Here’s a sneak peek at a few of Carlito’s and Juan’s cousins. There’s a Coquí in My Shoe! is the first children’s picture storybook illustrating Puerto Rico’s 17 coqui frogs! Each species of coquí frog has its own unique song. To hear their lullabies, visit proyectocoqui.org. Enjoy!

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove-- but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child -Forest Wilcroft
