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

Published in 2019, Dreamers ($19) by Yuyi Morales has been the recipient of multiple awards, including the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award. As the title implies, this book is also a story about the experience of an undocumented immigrant from Mexico living in the United States, only this time, it's from the author's perspective. In the 1990s, Yuyi moved from Mexico to the US with her son, who was an infant at the time. Dreamers tells the story of how she and her baby discovered the public library where they slowly learned English by reading the multitudes of books at their fingertips.
