Each year, Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 - October 15 to recognize the history, culture, and achievements of Americans whose heritage can be connected to over 20 countries in Latin America, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
HHM is a great time to highlight books that center Hispanic and Latinx experiences, but these books should have a place on the shelves of your classroom library beyond that. Hispanics represent 18.9% of the total U.S. population, the nation's second largest racial or ethnic group after non-Hispanic whites. This growing population deserves to see their friendships and families, first loves and heartbreaks, struggles and successes on the pages of books.
Below you'll find fiction and nonfiction titles by Hispanic and Latinx authors recommended by middle and high school ELA teachers for you to feature in your classroom library. Click on the Instagram handle of the person recommending the book to read their recommendation.
