The Hispanic Division and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress invite you to the presentation of
The Am?ricas Award for Children and Young Adult Literature
by the Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP) to
Yuyi Morales for Just a Minute: a Trickster Tale and Counting Book (San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2003)
and
Judith Ortiz Cofer for The Meaning of Consuelo (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2003)
Friday, September 24, 2004 4 to 6 p.m. Mumford Room, James Madison Memorial Building Library of Congress 101 Independence Avenue, S.E. Washington, D.C.
R.S.V.P. by telephone 202p7 13 Reception to follow Accommodations for individuals with disabilities are available upon request
The Am?ricas Award is given in recognition of U.S. works of fiction, poetry, folklore, or selected non-fiction (from picture books to works for young adults) published in the previous year in English or Spanish that authentically and engagingly portray Latin America, the Caribbean, or 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 is sponsored by the national Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP).
The award winners and commended titles are selected for their 1) distinctive literary quality; 2) cultural contextualization; 3) exceptional integration of text, illustration and design; and 4) potential for classroom use.
