Toddler-PreS--Menéndez's Latinitas is now accessible to the youngest readers in this beautiful board book highlighting 22 Latinitas who have worked hard to change the world and help others. Each inspiring woman receives a full board book page that includes her name and an illustration depicting her as a young girl, along with short sentences in English and Spanish describing what she has done to impact the world. Subjects include author Isabel Allende, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, archaeologist Zelia Nuttall, and activist Rigoberta Menchú Tum. The lovely color scheme features greens, yellows, and reds, with select words that identify each Latinita standing out in large font size and alternating colors. Young readers and their caregivers will love spending time carefully looking over each page, identifying objects in each illustration, and learning together about the inspirational woman featured. VERDICT An excellent addition to bilingual board book collections for children.--Selenia Paz
