What Can You Do With a Paleta? Receives Rivera Award

Congratulations to author Carmen Tafolla whose children's picture book, What Can You Do with a Paleta? is this year's recipient of the Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award. The award is presented to honor authors and illustrators who create literature that depicts the Mexican American experience.

Illustrated by Magaly Morales, What Can You Do with a Paleta? is the engaging story of the many uses that one little girl finds for a paleta. From creating a colorful masterpiece to making new friends, who knew a paleta had so many uses? With warm, vibrant illustrations in every paleta color imaginable, the book is a feast for the eyes (but don’t be surprised if it is your panzita that is rumbling by the end!)
