Just wanted to share with you the winners of 2010′s Pura Belpré Award. Established back in 1996, the award goes to “a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth.”
Author Award winner:
- Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez – A YA (young adults) novel about the friendship between two children from different backgrounds, one an American citizen, the other one an undocumented immigrant whose lives come together due to necessity. I’ve enjoyed reading several of Alvarez’s adult novels and although this is one Vanessa is way too young for, I’ll definitely be checking it out myself!
