Good afternoon,
I am pleased to announce the winners of the Am?ricas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, recognizing titles published in 2004:
Am?ricas Award Winners
MY NAME IS CELIA/ME LLAMO CELIA by Monica Brown. Illustrated by Rafael L?pez. Flagstaff: Northland, 2004. 32 pgs. ISBN 0?358?2-X
SAMMY & JULIANA IN HOLLYWOOD by Benjamin Alire S?enz. El Paso: Cinco Puntos Press, 2004. 291 pgs. ISBN 0?8317?-4
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. The winning books will be honored at a ceremony (September 2005) at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
The award also recognizes the following titles:
