by Liniers (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Discover classic (and spooky) folktales from across Latin America: the Iara, a mermaid (or a pink dolphin?) who lures young men to her underwater domain in the Amazon basin; La Lechuza, an enormous owl with the face of a woman, who terrorizes people who venture out after dark (a legend found in Mexico, Chile, and Uruguay); and La Luz Mala, a spooky, evanescent light that menaces gauchos and other travelers on the Argentine pampas. This 48-page comic also includes an introduction by David Bowles, the ecological, cultural, and historical background of these tales, and a bibliography.

We Shall Not Be Denied: A Timeline of Voting Rights and Suppression in America
by Cayla Bellanger DeGroat (Author) and Cicely Lewis (Author)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Voting is how our country chooses government leaders to make important decisions that affect all our lives. When one citizen is denied their right to vote, their voice is silenced. Everyone deserves a voice.

Throughout the history of the US, many Americans from underrepresented groups have fought, suffered, or died for the right to vote. Their hard work and courage has allowed many to gain the right to vote. But challenges remain and affect many voters.
