About This Book

The Words of Puerto Rico by Carlos Sierra takes readers through 20 themed parts exploring the island’s history, landscapes, culture, and everyday life. Travel through Old San Juan and El Morro, discover El Yunque and the island’s bioluminescent bays, and explore coastal communities, mountain landscapes, Vieques, and Culebra.

Discover Puerto Rican food traditions through mofongo, pasteles, coffee, and cocina criolla. Explore the rhythms of bomba, plena, and salsa, along with folk art, holiday celebrations, and neighborhood life. The collection includes all 78 municipalities and highlights Taíno and Afro-Puerto Rican heritage, baseball legends, writers, scientists, and other people who have shaped the island’s story.

Each puzzle features 20 search terms in an 18 × 18 grid and an accompanying researched fun fact. Spanish names and cultural terms retain their accents in the word banks, while the grids omit accents and spaces for searching. Answer keys are included, and readers can follow the collection in order or begin with a favorite subject.
