En los naranjales

Storytime: En los naranjales / In the Groves + Mock Pura Belpré Award Voting!
**Description**:
Join us for a special bilingual storytime reading of En los naranjales / In the Groves written by *Andrea Cruz Floren*, who beautifully illustrates the picture book taking young readers on a journey through the vibrant, sun-kissed groves of California. The story follows a child’s intimate connection with nature, their family, and the land, bringing the tradition of harvest and community to life in both Spanish and English.
As we read, we also invite you to consider En los naranjales / In the Groves for the *Pura Belpré Award**-a prestigious honor recognizing outstanding Latinx authors and illustrators in children's literature. You can help us decide which books should be nominated by joining us at our **Mock Pura Belpré Award* event on **November 16th, 12-2 PM at the Manhattan Public Library**. Your vote matters!
Whether you’re enjoying the story from home or attending the event in person or online, we’d love for you to be part of this celebration of Latinx stories and culture. Don’t forget to mark your calendar and leave us your thoughts in the comments!
