I am Estadio Azteca—born of fire, built for glory! Once, I rumbled as Xitle, a mighty mountain god. Silent for centuries, I rose again—this time as a temple of fútbol. I have thundered with the roar of fans and the footsteps of legends. And now, with the World Cup near, I rise again. #DVPit #PB #OWN
Josefina Velázquez de León brought Mexican food to the world. Some people didn’t think a woman should open a cooking school or travel around the country. Still, Josefina cooked up her dreams, empowered women, and united México’s regional cuisines—one receta at a time. #DVPit #PB #Latine
Based on a true story, CHISPA OF HOPE is about a Mexican American community that dreamed big, yet their schools were underfunded. When students and parents took their fight for equal education all the way to the Supreme Court, they lost—but their chispa refused to fade. #DVPit #PB #Latine

Thrilled to see BEST BELIEVE by NoNieqa Ramos and Nicole Medina in SLJ's roundup of NF for Latinx Heritage Month: "A wonderful choice for picture book biography shelves, especially where there’s a gap in women’s, Latinx, and activism history coverage."
