More effectively meet the diverse literacy needs of the growing Latino population by learning how to evaluate and select quality Latino children's literature. Latinos are the fastest growing and largest ethnic minority in the United States. The number of Latino children is at a historic high. As a result, librarians and teachers in the United States must know how to meet the informational, cultural, and traditional literacy needs of this student demographic group. An ideal way to overcome this challenge is by providing culturally accurate and authentic children's literature that represents the diversity of the Latino cultures. Much more than simply a topical bibliography, this book details both historical and current practices in educating Latino children; explains why having quality Latino children's literature in classrooms and libraries is necessary for the ethnic identity development of Latino children; and offers a historical overview of Latino children's literature in America. Web resources of interest to educators working with Latino children are also included.

Después de los éxitos alcanzados con "Anjonio" en el 2010, "Una mujer llamada Perla" en el 2011, y de ser premiada por el Instituto de Cultura Peruana en el género de Poesía también en el 2011, Ana Fernández nos entrega "Amigo y sus amigos". Esta vez, Estanislao y su ayudante Amigo recorren las calles de un barrio pobre de "la ciudad de los tinajones". A través de las amas de casa que les compran diariamente las latas de carbón de a diez centavos, ellos van conociendo muchos detalles de sus vidas: cómo aman, cómo sufren, cómo se divierten, cómo velan a sus muertos y cómo van adquiriendo -reuniendo centavo a centavo o pagando a plazos-, el alquiler de sus casas, sus alimentos, ropas y lo poco que necesitan para ir viviendo. Amigo, por ser más observador y sociable que Estanislao, es el que se entera de las debilidades y secretos de cada familia. Él no pudo ir a la escuela, pero tiene un sueño: escribir un libro en el que escondería un mensaje. El que lo descubra y lo lleve a la práctica, comenzará una gran cadena que alcanzará hasta el último habitante del más remoto rincón del planeta. Se desarrollaría una evolución positiva de la conciencia individual, hasta conseguir la soñada "Era de Luz". Como Beba y Tito -menores que él- no pueden acompañarlo en el recorrido diario, quedan en la casa para cuidar a los puercos que crecen en el corral del patio. Aceptaron quedarse con la condición de que cada tarde, al regresar, se reunirían para que él les contara los chismes del día. "Amigo y sus amigos" nos recuerda que todo lo que existe, vibra, y que esa energía encierra sutiles lecciones. Nos queda decidir: recibirlas o ignorarlas.

First awarded in 1993, the Américas Award is given in recognition of books that authentically and engagingly portray Latino/as in Latin America, the Caribbean or the United States. By combining both and linking the Americas, the award reaches beyond geographic borders, as well as multicultural-international boundaries, focusing instead upon cultural heritages within the hemisphere. The Award is unique in that selects Latino/a youth literature for classroom use and in that it focuses on the entire Western Hemisphere. Scholars from the fields of literature, education, lbrary science, and theater engage with Latino/a Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) in this ecollection of essays about the Américas Award, the Award-winning and honored books, and the contexts in which the books are used. This collection offers essays on the history of the award, close readings of Award-winning and honored books situated in the classroom, and discussions of how best to use the books in the classroom, library and theater.
