National Hispanic Heritage Latinx Heritage Month is a time for "paying tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society." It runs from September 15-October 15. 

Earlier this year, we had the great pleasure of collaborating with consulting editor Sujei Lugo, members of REFORMA, and nearly forty contributors to produce our May/June 2021 Horn Book Magazine: Special Issue: The Pura Belpré Award at 25. Highlights include: Sujei's editorial, "R(e)Claiming Our Literature"; an interview with Pura's great-nieces by Anika Aldamuy Denise; "Pura Belpré Award by the Numbers"; "On the Futurity of the Pura Belpré Award"; and many more. Read it all here; and watch HBTV episodes 1 and 2 with Meg Medina and award co-founder Sandra Ríos Balderrama and with ALSC president and writer Lucía M. González.
