17 Children's Books by Latinx Authors Worth Adding to Your Kid's Bookshelf

If your kids are a little older, you have to pick up the new Paola Santiago series from Mexican-American author Tehlor Kay-Mejia. The first book in the series, Paola Santiago and the River of Tears ($8), is based on the legend of La Llorona, and it honors Latinx folklore in a really fun and fast-paced read. The story's protagonist is a never-quit Latinx kid with a ton of sass who is sure to win over your kiddo and probably you as well.
