Description

Juanita lives in New York and is Mexican. Felipe lives in Chicago and is Panamanian, Venezuelan, and black. Michiko lives in Los Angeles and is Peruvian and Japanese. Every of them could also be Latino.

Thirteen young Latinos and Latinas living in The us are introduced in this book celebrating the rich diversity of the Latino and Latina experience in the US. Free-verse fictional narratives from the point of view of Every youth provide specific stories and circumstances for the reader to better take note the Latino people’s quest for identity. Every profile is followed by nonfiction prose that further clarifies the character’s background and history, touching upon important events in the history of the Latino American people, such as the Spanish Civil War, immigration to the USA, and the internment of Latinos with Japanese ancestry all over World War II.

Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy’s informational yet heartwarming text provides a resource for young Latino readers to see themselves, even as also encouraging non-Latino children to take note the breadth and depth of the contributions made by Latinos in the USA. Caldecott Medalist David Diaz’s hand-cut illustrations are bold and striking, perfectly complementing the vibrant stories in the book.

YES! WE ARE LATINOS stands on my own in its presentation of the broad spectrum of Latino culture and will appeal to readers of fiction and nonfiction.
