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

It's a new school year, and the books in this project are at the top of our wish list for the school library! These stories would be perfect for story times, and to share with our staff, students, and community.

The titles on this list include characters like Pete the Cat, authors and illustrators like Mo Willems and Raúl the Third who we know and love, and a sequel to the classic, "Not A Box," as well as other irresistible book covers that will immediately grab our students' attention.

Your generous donation would set us up with the books at the top of our wish list and keep our young learners engaged with and enthusiastic about books this school year!
