Not enough citizens of the USA know enough about the territory of Puerto Rico. This series will help, and is a delight to read.
I highly recommend the 'upper' Leveled Readers 'Rafi and Rosi' and 'Rafi And Rosi: Carnival!' (I will look for the next ones in the series, too.)
Not only are they STEM friendly, in that they make it clear that science is even more fun than magic, but they also have enriching notes about science and PR culture and Coqui (frogs). And a lovely big brother/little sister dynamic. Humor, a dash of excitement, lots of heart, and charming & apt illustrations.… (more)

Won't rate as I'm not the target audience. The brother-sister dynamics are an interesting part of the story that I'm not sure I appreciate. But the main appeal for educators, and probably most kids who like the series, is the Puerto Rican culture. Lots of back matter, and a glossary in the front.
Charming. Probably even better if I had some Mexican, or Peruvian, or Brazilian... cultural connection. The recipes look good, but many seem like a lot of work.
