Take your child on an unforgettable 25-chapter journey across the Hispanic and Latino world, from a lost city hidden in the Andean clouds to the sun drenched shores of the Caribbean.
Hispanic Heritage for Kids brings more than twenty countries and territories to life through vivid storytelling, blending history, mythology, food, music, and real heroes into one beautifully illustrated journey. Young readers ages 10 to 14 will climb to Machu Picchu, stand inside the ruins of an ancient Aztec capital, meet the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, taste the story behind tacos and empanadas, and discover why families across Mexico celebrate, rather than mourn, the loved ones they have lost each Día de los Muertos.
Each chapter is written to spark genuine curiosity, not just memorize facts, pairing rich narrative storytelling with a surprising "Did You Know?" fact on every spread. Perfect for curious readers, homeschool geography and history units, classroom cultural studies, and any family looking for a meaningful way to explore Hispanic and Latino heritage together.
More than a book about countries, this is an invitation to see an entire region, and the people who call it home, as one connected, living story.
