For October our theme is Communities build a better world. During the month of October we recognize Hispanic Heritage Month.

What is Hispanic Heritage Month?

Heritage is something that is inherited or passed down from previous generations. It also involves ethnic, cultural and national identity. Heritage Month celebrates the contributions that Latino and Hispanic Americans have made to the United States. It’s a month to honor and recognize the history, culture, traditions and contributions made by people who trace their Roots back to Mexico, Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean.

In a story inspired by her own family’s desire to help others, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor takes young readers on a journey through a neighborhood where kids and adults, activists and bus drivers, friends and strangers all help one another to build a better world for themselves and their community. Here is a read aloud of the book:
