My students are 98% Latinx or Hispanic. Many are immigrants or first generation American. They have a rich cultural heritage that is celebrated in our community but rarely reflected in the literature they read in school. I want to change that. I want them to see themselves, their families, their heritage represented in the novels we read. There is nothing more powerful than to see yourself in the pages of a book, and these novels do that. We are in a hybrid learning mode at the time of this project and some of my students are able and willing to purchase novels. Unfortunately, most of my students lack the funds to buy basic school supplies, so I know this will be difficult for them. Novels are seen as luxuries in most homes here, but I know how these stories can impact my students lives..
