Virtual Author Talk with Smithsonian Educators: Nuestra América
Join us in conversation with Smithsonian professionals Adrián Aldaba and Emily Key as they discuss Nuestra América and highlight inspiring stories of Latinos throughout history, as well as their incredible contributions to the cultural, social, and political character of the United States.
The stories in Nuestra América cover each figure's cultural background, childhood, and the challenges and opportunities they met in pursuit of their goals. Featuring beautifully illustrated portraits by Gloria Félix, this is a book that children (and adults) will page through and learn from again and again. A must have for every school and home library to help students understand the American story!
Register today to learn more about the rich history of Nuestra América!
