All Brown All Around: Fwap! Pura Belpré Poster Giveaway!
http://all-brown-all-around.blogspot.com/2014/08/fwap-pura-belpre-poster-giveaway.html
Friday, August 8, 2014. Pura Belpré Poster Giveaway! There's the front of the program I neglected to post an image of last time around. Isn't that a beautiful portrait of la Señora Belpré created by Yuyi Morales? This would look amazing in your library, classroom, living room, etc. I have about two, maybe three, extra program / posters to give away. If you're interested in being entered in a drawing leave a comment below. Have a favorite picture book or novel featuring a Latino protagonist? I hope I win!

All Brown All Around: Review: Pig Park
http://all-brown-all-around.blogspot.com/2014/09/review-pig-park.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. I confess. I'm a glutton. This book had me at the cover. That image of a delicious marranito? I can imagine the moist cake-like center, the smell of molasses. I love this cover. I want to eat this cover. Between those yummy covers is an equally delicious book. Pig Park. Cinco Puntos Press, 2014) is Claudia Guadalupe Martinez's second novel following her 2011 debut, The Smell of Old Lady Perfume,. I admit, at first I was like huh? Wait, what's going on here? This would be a g...

All Brown All Around: February 2014
http://all-brown-all-around.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 7, 2014. Post script to yesterday's entry. Pointed out that several African-American men have won Caldecott honors. I unintentionally neglected to include these in my round-up of non-white authors and illustrators who have been awarded Caldecott or Newbery honors. So here's another question. Where are all the female African-American artists? On a different note, someone linked to my "Why Are they Always White Children" post on her(? Better to remain silent than to say the wrong thing?

Sunday, July 27, 2014. 2014 Pura Belpré Award Celebración. Dang, blogging is hard work, people! I'm so embarrassed. Posting about an event a month later is a total social media faux pas, I'm sure. By now the ALA Annual Conference and the 2014 Pura Belpré Celebración are but shiny little memories tucked away in my nostalgic heart. They say it's better late than never, right? It's still summer though. I have that going for me. The Celebración was in Caesars Palace! These ladies make it happen. From lef...
