T<\/SPAN>he Alfaguara Children\u2019s Book Publishers and the Santillana Group are delighted to congratulate Dinorah Coronado\u2019s \u201cRebecca Up At Bat\u201d<\/EM> which has won the “Aurora Tav\u00e1rez Belliard” National Children\u2019s Literature Prize<\/EM> for 2008. Ms. Coronada, a Dominican writer living in New York, publishes with Alfaguara Infantil (Alfaguara Children\u2019s Books). <\/P> These entertaining stories project values such as the healthy dedication to sports, in this case baseball, female leadership, family devotion, organization and learning responsibility from a young age.<\/P> The Jury recognized this book as it \u201cpresents stories written in an entertaining and flowing style with children as defined, creative and proactive characters with whom readers can identify and feel an intimacy. As part of the charming narrative there is a stupendous collection of values and attitudes connected to life and society in today\u2019s Dominican Republic.\u201d Writers and children\u2019s literature specialists Jenny Montero, Mayra Navarro and Luis Mart\u00edn G\u00f3mez made up the jury. The book contains three stories. In the first, \u201cRebecca Up At Bat,<\/EM>\u201d the little girl confronts an important challenge: to hit a homerun for her baseball team so they\u2019ll win the championship they\u2019re playing in New York with girls from other countries. Her father and mother have trained her well. In the other story, \u201cAnita the Forgetful One,\u201d<\/EM> the protagonist discovers what to do so she will not forget her homework. In the third story, \u201cSpeedy Jose,\u201d<\/EM> the main character is run aground at sea where he learns to obey and not to be so reckless. These entertaining stories project values such as the healthy dedication to sports, in this case baseball, female leadership, family devotion, organization and learning responsibility from a young age. They are a tribute to children\u2019s creativity as they search for solutions to life\u2019s daily problems. The illustrations were done by Alejandro G\u00f3mez of the Eureka! Workshop. DINORAH CORONADO is a teacher, psychologist, playwright, novelist and children\u2019s author. Her winning book underscores how family connections help children reach their goals and how creative children can be when facing difficulties. Coronado is from La Vega but currently resides in New York where she directs the Coronado Theater. Dinorah began teaching children and later changed careers to become a psychologist, writer, playwright and actress without ever cutting her links to children through her theater. As a writer, she has done narrative, poetry and essays.
