How to Be a Chicana Role Model

How to Be a Chicana Role Model by Michele M. Serros
Edition: Paperback
The beauty of culture is each person's own self expression. This book was a light-hearted and fun read, nothing more, nothing less. Instead of putting it under the microscopic spotlight, I think this this book should be celebrated. It's refreshing to see yet another angle of chicana life. There are no rules in this game of who we are and where we came from. I personally will continue to support chicana/latina/hispana writers from all walks of life! Comment
Felicidades,

The Latino Holiday Book: From Cinco De Mayo to Dia De Los Muertos : The Celebrations and Traditions of Hispanic-Americans

The Latino Holiday Book: From Cinco De Mayo to Dia De Los Muertos : The Celebrations and Traditions of Hispanic-Americans by Valerie Menard
Edition: Paperback
When my sister-in-law was planning to get married, I wanted to get her a gift that she could keep and refer to throughout her future. We come from a large Hispanic family, so when I saw this book I was impressed. It made a cute gift and she was really excited to have gotten it. It goes thru all the different Mexican-themed holidays, offering history and ways to celebrate. Once she has kids, I know they will like it too!


Felicidades,
