Yesterday began Hispanic American Heritage Month which lasts from September 15 – October 15. Today I’m highlighting just a couple of Hispanic creators making beautiful picture books! This list includes both authors and illustrators and only nine titles – there are hundreds of picture books written by Hispanic creators and if you’re looking for even more great suggestions check out the Latinx Kidlit Book Database . And yes, although there is a difference between Hispanic and Latinx, it’s a wonderful place to discover some amazing creators.
I’m sure some people will have issues with the nine books I’ve chosen, but I was looking for some new titles for the most part and a wide variety of types of picture books. Believe me when I say this could have included a lot more titles and a lot more experiences, I know!
