Martina the Cockroach

---

Abstract: This retelling of the classic Cuban folktale "Martina the Cockroach" by Kama Einhorn introduces young readers to the story of Martina, a beautiful cockroach who is ready to find a suitable husband. As various suitors—a rooster, a pig, and a mouse—come forward, Martina evaluates their qualities to determine the best match. The tale emphasizes themes of discernment, wisdom, and the importance of choosing a partner based on character rather than appearance. The simple text and engaging illustrations make it accessible and enjoyable for early readers. | Suitable for 3-12 yo?: Yes | LGBT Support?: Not Applicable​
