The 2012 American Library Association Conference in Anaheim celebrated the 16th annual Pura Belpré Award. The Pura Belpré Award, established in 1996, 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. 
In this wonderful LA BLOGA post "Pura Belpré Ganadores" the authors and illustrators share their thoughts on what the award means to them. Enjoy!
