{"product_id":"9781632896179","title":"Yes! We Are Latinos: Poems and Prose About the Latino Experience","description":"Juanita  lives in New York and is Mexican. Felipe lives in Chicago and is  Panamanian, Venezuelan, and black. Michiko lives in Los Angeles and is  Peruvian and Japanese. Each of them is also Latino.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThirteen  young Latinos and Latinas living in America are introduced in this book  celebrating the rich diversity of the Latino and Latina experience in  the United States. Free-verse fictional narratives from the perspective  of each youth provide specific stories and circumstances for the reader  to better understand the Latino people’s quest for identity. Each  profile is followed by nonfiction prose that further clarifies the  character’s background and history, touching upon important events in  the history of the Latino American people, such as the Spanish Civil  War, immigration to the US, and the internment of Latinos with Japanese  ancestry during World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlma Flor Ada and F. Isabel  Campoy’s informational yet heartwarming text provides a resource for  young Latino readers to see themselves, while also encouraging  non-Latino children to understand the breadth and depth of the  contributions made by Latinos in the US. Caldecott Medalist David Diaz’s  hand-cut illustrations are bold and striking, perfectly complementing  the vibrant stories in the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYES! WE ARE LATINOS stands alone  in its presentation of the broad spectrum of Latino culture and will  appeal to readers of fiction and nonfiction.","brand":"Charlesbridge Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149418578160,"sku":"9781632896179","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781632896179_p0.jpg?v=1763675202","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781632896179","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
