Established in 1996, the awards honor Pura Belpre, the first Latina librarian of the New York Public Library in New York City, for her commitment to enriching the lives of Puerto Rican children through writing and storytelling. Named by the American Library Association, books are awarded the Pura Belpre Medal because they portray and affirm the Latino culture. This medal, awarded biennially, is given to both authors and illustrators.”
