The Pura Belpré Books Club is an exciting way to bring diverse literature into the lives of our students. The Pura Belpré 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.
The award is named after the beloved NYC Public Librarian Pura Belpré.
