Welcome to HBTV, our exciting new (occasional) children's book-related TV show!

In the inaugural episode of HBTV, I talk about the Pura Belpré Awards, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, with Belpré Award winner Meg Medina and award co-founder Sandra Ríos Balderrama.

My Belpré conversation continues in the second episode of HBTV as I chat with Lucía M. González, library director of the North Miami Public Library, incoming president-elect of ALSC, a REFORMA past president, and a Belpré Award honoree.

Be sure to join the festivities at this Sunday's Celebración, held each year during ALA’s Annual Conference. The virtual Celebración begins at 1pm CT. And read more from the May/June 2021 special issue of The Horn Book Magazine: The Pura Belpré Award at 25.

Single copies of this special issue are available for $15.00 including postage and may be ordered from:
