Reviews

Now more than ever, this is essential reading that highlights an oft-overlooked community in Latin American history. This book is a triumph of the Latine spirit, and a testament to the tireless pursuit of one's identity and ideals."
Pedro Iniguez, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future
Filled with vital profiles and inventive portraits of incredible people to look up to.
Danielle Davis, children’s author and advocate
Queer Latine Heroes is a timely, radiant act of reclamation. Aguilar and De Luna Cortes offer young readers the gift of visibility-25 fierce, fabulous reminders that speak to the joy, resistance, and brilliance of being queer and Latine. It's the kind of book I wish I had growing up-and the kind I'm grateful young people have now. Every classroom, home and learning space deserves this powerful collection on its shelf."
