The inspiring true story of Tomas Rivera, who grew up in a migrant worker family, befriended a librarian in Iowa, and learned to love books and the places they took him. Tomas went on to a successful career in academia and became the Chancellor of the University of California at Riverside.

Adapted from the well-loved book by prolific children's author Pat Mora, and produced by Child's Play, this play can be readily understood by both English- and Spanish-speakers.

Tomas loves stories! Grandfather tells them every night during the long summers, when the family leaves Texas to pick crops in Iowa. But soon Tom·s knows all the stories by heart, and that's when Papa Grande tells him there is a place full of stories he's never heard before: the library. When Tomas meets the library lady, nothing is ever the same again. Tomas and the Library Lady celebrates the wonder of reading.
