The Prince & the Coyote has won a Pura Belpré YA Author Honor (from the American Library Association, ALSC, and REFORMA). Congrats to the other winners and honorees!
"The Prince and the Coyote" is an amazing book and the Pura Belpré honor is well deserved! David Bowles makes Nezahualcoyotl come alive. It is history and mythology, it is adventure, it is romance and heroes. The poetry, lyricism and art are stunning! The maps, family trees, and additional chapter notes are so useful. I kept turning to them. I totally recommend immersing yourself in this beautiful book.
