Pura Panel

Travis: This one was a pleasure. Today we have a special LIVE episode with a panel of 2018 Pura Belpré award winners: Ruth Behar (Lucky Broken Girl), Pablo Cartaya (The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora), Celia C. Pérez (The First Rule of Punk), and Juana Martinez-Neal (La Princesa and the Pea). It was recorded at the 2018 American Library Association Annual Conference in New Orleans.

We hope you enjoy the show.
