This guide offers discussion questions, activities, and resources for all 40 Latinitas! I feel so incredibly lucky that two brilliant Latinas, Carla España and Yadira Luz Herrera, made this guide with so much thought and care!

As a teacher, I would have absolutely loved to have a resource like this to delve into topics like the wars for independence and how different they are when they are led by colonizers vs. the colonized, community organizing, Latinx poetry and literature, using art to talk about social issues, how we describe "home," and how we study the world through science. And, one of the things I love the most is that the guide includes 28 wonderful titles by some of my favorite Latinx authors and illustrators like Sonia Sotomayor, Monica Brown, Pat Mora, Aida Salazar, Diana López, Angela Cervantes, Anika Aldamuy Denise, Yamile Saied Méndez, Yuyi Morales, Margarita Engle, and more!! I hope you enjoy this with your class and I would love to see what you do with your students. Please share!
