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

Yup, this book is an homage to the beloved paleta man and the sweet treats he delivers around the neighborhood. Bright, beautiful illustrations highlight the book What Can You Do With a Paleta? ($17) by Carmen Tafolla as the main character walks through town describing all of the wonders of a cold, fruity ice pop on a hot day. The book definitely captures the excitement and joy so many of us felt as children when we heard the palatero, piraguero, or ice cream man coming through.
