The Best Books to Celebrate Hispanic and Latine Heritage

Every year, Scholastic celebrates Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month. Observed from September 15 to October 15, it honors the incredible stories, voices, contributions, and experiences of Hispanic and Latine Americans. 

To celebrate Hispanic and Latine heritage in your classroom, explore this list of popular fiction and nonfiction titles handpicked by our editors, including picture books, biographies, and novels.

For example, explore a whimsical tale of unexpected friendship with Between Words. This beautifully illustrated picture book is an unforgettable ode to belonging that shows you don't always need words to make a friendship bloom. 

There's also This Is Our Place — a touching novel that will teach older readers about the power of connection. Set in Brazil, this book shares the stories of three teens across three generations living in the same house as they navigate life and find their place in the world. 

This month and throughout the year, read and share stories honoring Hispanic and Latine voices. Whether you teach young elementary school students or middle school, there is something for everyone on this list.

Miles Morales es un chico que por el día estudia en la Academia Visiones de Brooklyn y por la noche se balancea entre los edificios como el Hombre Araña. Un día, un desastroso terremoto azota Puerto Rico, el lugar de nacimiento de su madre, y Miles entra en acción para organizar una recaudación de fondos para la devastada isla. Pero entonces desaparece el padre de una nueva estudiante de su escuela, y Miles comienza a encontrar pistas que conectan la desaparición con una megacorporación que está patrocinando la recaudación de fondos. ¿Quién estará detrás de todo esto y qué relación tiene con el Hombre Araña?
