Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15-October 15, which makes this an especially great time to check out this year’s Pura Belpré Award and Honor books. The Pura Belpré Award, “established in 1996, is presented annually 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.”
