Every year since 1968, Americans have observed National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. This month-long celebration recognizes the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
Here are some good books that celebrate Hispanic culture:
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Luminous by Dawn Metcalf
Playing For Keeps by Veronica Chambers
Efrain's Secret by Sofia Quintero
Benito Runs by Justine Fontes
Carmen: An Urban Adaptation of the Opera by Walter Dean Myers
Ambitious by Monica McKayhan
Life, After by Sarah Darer Littman
