Sonia Nazario, a projects reporter for the Los Angeles Times, won a Pulitzer Prize for her series on the experiences of Latin American children who immigrate to join their parents in the United States. The series was the basis for her book Enrique's Journey, which tells the story of a Honduran boy's struggle to reach his mother in the United States. She has spent more than two decades reporting and writing about social issues, including children of drug-addicted parents and hunger among California schoolchildren. Nazario grew up in Kansas and in Argentina and began her career at the Wall Street Journal before moving to the Los Angeles Times. She has a master's degree in Latin American studies from the University of California, Berkeley. Part of the Latino Heritage Month Celebration.
