You need to read more Latin@ lit. I need to read more Latin@ lit. EVERYBODY needs to read more Latin@ lit. We need to see it, hear about it, debate it, and celebrate it with as much energy as possible. And that’s why I’ve partnered with awesome authors Cindy Rodriguez, Lila Quintero Weaver, Zoraida Córdova, and Stephanie Guerra to launch Latin@ Kid Lit, a joint blog and resource center for literature for, about, or by Latin@s.

In fact, I’m over there this week talking about why Latin@ Kid Lit matters to me. Check out the post. Or, if you need a picture instead of 1000 words, see above.
