5 Children’s Books About Latina Women

In a time where our country faces turmoil and division, teaching to our children identity and respect for our differences are not only important but imperative. The responsibility that I feel to raise girls who know who they are and what to stand for is a humbling and yet empowering experience.

Since today is Women’s Day, I’d like to highlight 5 children’s books that feature Latina women who had shown strength and courage in their lives. I love that these books talk about inspiring women from my culture that kids like mine can feel represented in their stories, and even successes.
