Dr. David Bowles, an associate professor in the UTRGV Department of Literatures and Cultural Studies, grew up in the Rio Grande Valley with the nickname “Güero,” granted from his father’s Mexican-American heritage. Now, he bestows it on the protagonist of his newest book, ‘They Call Me Güero,’ a novel in verse filled with slice-of-life poems illustrating life as a border kid. The book recently earned a 2019 Tomas Rivera Book Award, as well as the 2019 Walter Dean Myers Awards for Outstanding Children’s Literature. It has been named a Pura Belpré Author Honor Book and made the School Library Journal 2018 Best Books List Honor, Middle Grade. It was named a National Council of Teachers of English Notable Verse Novel for Children 3-13, and an ALSC Notable Children's Book, 2019, and was named a Shelf Awareness 2018 Best Children’s & Teen Books of the Year, Middle Grade.
