CLASP founded the Américas Award in 1993 to encourage and commend authors, illustrators and publishers who produce quality children’s and young adult books that portray Latin America, the Caribbean, or Latinos in the United States, and to provide teachers with recommendations for classroom use.
Reviews of children's books, how to use them in the classroom and collections of books and activities about particular subjects, curriculum areas, themes and professional topics.
The purpose of this database is to create a tailored reading list of quality children's literature or to find out if a book has won one of the indexed awards.
