Deedy, C.A. (2007). Martina the beautiful cockroach. Atlanta, GA: Peachtree.
Martina the Beautiful Cockroach is a beautifully entertaining folktale that endears the main character, Martina to the reader through her grandmother's advice about testing her suitors for marriage material. Through gorgeous illustrations, the tale comes to life and pokes fun at the various "men" who have come to woo Martina. True to Cuban heritage and traditions, this proves worthy of cultural studies and is a heartwarming version of an old tale.
