"Yes. We are Latinos" is a narrative poetry book which tells the story of 13 young culturally diverse students in different places of the United States. It is very interesting and inspiring for those students that can relate to the culture and traditions mentioned in the book. The book teaches children to never forget when're we come from and to never change who we truly are. Students will be able to learn about new culture or relate to the poems and connect it to their personal life. Other students may learn from this as well. ( )

I love books like this because I can relate to them a lot as the first gen child of undocumented immigrant parents. I feel like I can relate to a lot of their experiences as I read half of the book. I enjoyed reading this book alot and made me feel seen and represented as a minority who is proud of her heritage and where she comes from. ( )

(A 2015 Big Read companion title.) The mix of poetry and essays from a wide variety of Latino/a perspectives focuses on the wide variety of ethnicities and cultural experiences that fall under the umbrella of "Latino." It was a fun read. ( )

I found the message of the book to be very inspiring for me as a culturally diverse college student as well. The book teaches us to never forget when're we come from and to never change who we truly are. ( )

This book explores the history of Latinos in our country and around the world. Interspersed between pages of facts are poems that children (and adults) can relate to. With our current immigration crisis combined with the underrepresentation of the Latino population in literature, this is a wise book to add to any collection.
