National Hispanic Heritage Month Book Recommendations

Sep 21

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Celebrate by choosing books that center on Latinx communities or by Latinx authors.
