Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP)
Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature
In 1993, the national Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs
(CLASP) initiated a yearly children's and young adult book award with a commended list of titles. Beginning in 1995, a new category of
"Honorable Mention" was added, to properly recognize the books that contended as finalists for the award.
The award is given in recognition of a U.S. work (picture books, poetry, fiction, folklore) published in the previous year in English or Spanish which authentically and engagingly presents the experience of individuals in Latin America or the Caribbean, or of Latinos in the United States. By combining both and linking the Americas, the award reaches beyond geographic borders, as well as multicultural-international boundaries, focusing instead upon cultural heritages within the hemisphere.
The award winner and the other commended books were selected for their quality of story, cultural authenticity/sensitivity, and potential for classroom use. The winning books are honored at a ceremony held each summer at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
