Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Latinx Characters in MG

Latinx characters, similar to my Asian characters booklist earlier this month, incorporates so many different cultures, countries, beliefs, traditions, etc. I clearly would never be able to share all Latinx experiences with just 12 middle grade titles, but I hope that you can find a character that speaks to you. Also, be on the lookout later today for my Latinx Characters in YA booklist.
