Sadly, as an expert in diversity, studies have shown that only 5% of children's books depict Latinx characters. <em>Jaguars and Butterflies </em>not only actively seeks to change this statistic, but it specifically tells a story that empowers ALL Latinas to feel confident in who they are. Between the stunning images and the powerful words, every Latina of every size, every shape, and every color can see themselves within its pages. However, my favorite part is the tools attached for parents that helps anyone, not just Latinx people, to understand the value and beauty of Latinx culture. In a world where diversity is a huge topic, this book is a great tool for anyone trying to engage diversity in the home or school library. </p><p>-Kaila Alvarez, Consultant and Specialist in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Reconciliation</p><p><br></p><p>As a Clinical Psychologist (from a mixed-race background) I cannot recommend this uplifting work of art more highly. The author gracefully weaves a powerful message of inclusion with an awe-inspiring celebration of Mexican geography and cultures. The stunning illustrations bring the deeply meaningful messages alive. This team clearly understands the importance of authentic representation of ALL children in literature. Books play an essential role in how children see themselves and how they imagine others will view them. <em>Jaguars and Butterflies</em> will leave children, particularly girls with Mexican heritage, with feelings of worth, strength, power, and confidence. It will leave all of its readers with a deep sense of respect and insight. Given that children notice race from as young as two and can show signs of prejudice by age three, this unique book is highly relevant for children of all ages. The practical suggestions for parents also enhance the impact of<em> Jaguars and Butterflies</em>, making it a truly interactive and highly educational experience. This is essential reading for children at a time when celebrating diversity could not be more important. </p><p>-Dr Sara Andargachew, Clinical Psychologist</p><br>
