So pleased you included Pacho Nacho! It’s a favorite with the kids every time I do a read- aloud. Thank you!

In reply to Martinez.

That is a complicated request. I don’t have the authority to judge if someone is Latinx, and what that definition even is. Do they have heritage I don’t know about? Are they living in a Latin American country? Are they 2nd generation? Are they married to a Latinx person? Labeling gets complicated very quickly.
I decided not to do this because am in the business of recommending books with representation. I am not in the business of evaluating a person’s heritage or cultural background.

It would be nice if all titles were by Latinx authors. Here’s a database of Latinx authors and books kept up to date: https://www.latinxkidlitbookfestival.com/latinx-kidlit-book-database
