As taken from Wikipedia, Ms. Lázaro -Leon "has also written poems that introduce children to Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, Miguel Cervantes' Don Quijote de la Mancha and other mainstays of Hispanic culture, as well as "Ya llegan los Reyes Magos!", published by Lectorum in 2001, geared to promote Puerto Rico's tradition and culture.".. "Her poem "Nuestro Capitolio", about Puerto Rico's Capitol building, was published in 2006 by the Legislative Assembly and, with over 45,000 copies in print for free distribution, is probably her most-printed poem."
