Sorry, "a Pura Belpre" not "the Pura Belpre" -- My Abuelita is one of the honors for the Pura Belpre this year. I saw this as Thunderbird was sending, but I couldn't hit the cancel button quickly enough!

I do wish that My Abuelita had been part of the Caldecott group this year; the illustrations are so tasty, and I know this book my son will read again and again (he's getting it for his birthday shortly). My daughter and I were just reading it with glee - very yummy. I'm glad it won the Pura Belpre, and I hope librarians will rush to order it alongside the Caldecott titles. :)
