It's time to begin our discussion of the 2006 Pure Belpre Award winners. This is our last discussion of the 2006 ALA award winners and honor books.
The Belpre award is presented 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. It is co-sponsored by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), and the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-Speaking (REFORMA), an ALA Affiliate.
For more information on the award, go to http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholarships/literaryawds/belpremedal/belprmedal.htm
Here are the 2006 Belpre books (this award is given every two years, so books from two publishing years are condisidered):
PURA BELPRE AUTHOR AWARD
The Tequila Worm by Viola Canales. Wendy Lamb Books / Random House, 2005
Honor Books
Cesar: ?S?, Se Puede! Yes, We Can by Carmen T. Bernier-Grand. Illustrated by David Diaz. Marshall Cavendish, 2004
Do?a Flor: A Tall Tale about a Giant Woman with a Great Big Heart by Pat Mora. Illustrated by Raul Col?n. Alfred A. Knopf, 2005

PURA BELPRE ILLUSTRATOR AWARD

Honor Books
Arrorr?, Mi Ni?o: Latino Lullabies and Gentle Games illustrated and selected by Lulu Delacre. Lee & Low, 2004
Cesar: ?S?, Se Puede! Yes, We Can illustrated by David Diaz. Written by Carmen T. Bernier-Grand.
Marshall Cavendish, 2004
My Name is Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz / Me llamo Celia: la vida de Celia Cruz illustrated by Rafael L?pez.
Written by Monica Brown. Luna Rising / Rising Moon, 2004
When I read DONA FLOR, I thought what a great book it would be to read in a kindergarten or first grade classroom, while ARRORRO MIN NINO seems like a great addition to toddler storytimes.
Who has had a chance to read one or more of the Belpre books? WHo has used the books with children or teens?
