Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In our joyful preschool classroom, we celebrate curiosity, creativity, and connection. My littles are eager learners who come from beautifully diverse backgrounds, and they thrive in an environment filled with love, laughter, and learning. As their teacher, I want to ensure they grow not only academically, but also emotionally and socially.

I am requesting a collection of picture books that support social-emotional development and highlight cultural diversity.

These books will help my students learn about empathy, kindness, resilience, self-regulation, and the beauty of our differences. Through stories that reflect a wide range of backgrounds, traditions, and experiences, my littles will learn that every person is valuable, every feeling is valid, and every culture is worth celebrating.

Books like A Little SPOT Takes Responsibility and the Kindness Emotional Learning Book Set help children recognize and name their emotions, build understanding, and foster compassion. Spanish-English bilingual biographies from Lil' Libros, such as Selena and Ritchie Valens, allow students to see themselves in the stories we read. When children see themselves and others in the pages of a book, it builds confidence, connection, and curiosity about the world around them.
