Subject: [Reforma_or] 2018 Mock Pura Belpré Awards

Hi Everyone,

REFORMA Oregon Chapter is looking for volunteers to coordinate our next Mock Pura Belpré Awards that will take place in December.
We are also looking for suggestions about pictures books published in 2018 to be considered in the selection of finalists.
Because of time constrains, in the past years, REFORMA Oregon decided that for the mock awards we’ll consider only picture books (for text and illustrations).
If you are interested, please, send me an email.
Thank you so much!

Martín
