Since 1996, the biennial Pura Belpré Awards have celebrated Latino culture, writers, and illustrators. Librarians seeking great books for children and young people, while serving the growing needs of a young Hispanic population, will find the best among these award-winners. The Pura Belpré Awards are named in honor of the New York Public Library’s 1920s children’s librarian, storyteller, puppeteer, and folklorist, Puerto-Rican born Pura Theresa Belpré. A brief history explains the significance of Pura Belpré, her work, and the partnership that launched this honor for Latino children’s literature.
In this inaugural reference covering the first ten years of the Pura Belpré Awards, editor Rose Zertuche Treviño, in conjunction with ALSC and REFORMA, shares the celebration with all librarians who love great kids’ books and cultural diversity.
