Description

Alma Flor Ada has won many awards, among them the Ohtli Award given to her by the Mexican Government for services to the Mexican community abroad. In the language of the Nahuatl (peoples native to southern Mexico and Central America), "Ohtli" means "path." The award title alludes to the idea that those who receive it do so in honor of opening paths for those in the Mexican community.
