BOLD, BRILLIANT & LATINE

Inspire the next generation of changemakers with this celebratory biography anthology of 52 Latine and Hispanic heroes.

All children deserve to see themselves positively represented in the books they read. This belief underpins the See Yourself in Their Stories biography series that brought you the critically acclaimed, bestselling Young, Gifted and Black. In Bold, Brilliant and Latine, young Latine and Hispanic children can see themselves reflected in 52 heroes from the past and present, whom everyone can look up to.

From sporting legends to fashion icons, political leaders to fearless changemakers, as well as renowned writers, musicians, artists, scientists, and more, these heroes’ lives are vividly recounted by queer award-winning Dominican and Puerto Rican storyteller Alyssa Reynoso-Morris and brought to life by Argentinian illustrator Sol Cotti’s artwork.

Kids will find motivation in the stories of:

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Politician, youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress

  • Lionel Messi – Superstar soccer player

  • Sonia Sotomayor – US Supreme Court Justice

  • Frida Kahlo – Iconic artist

  • Cesar Chavez – Activist and labor leader

  • Ellen Ochoa – First Latina astronaut in space

  • Lin-Manuel Miranda – Actor, composer, creator of Broadway musicals


A heartwarming and empowering book for Latine and Hispanic children and families, this anthology is also ideal for homeschoolers and educators looking to diversify their perspectives through Latine and Hispanic history and achievements, with one new figure to explore each week of the year.

Proud, talented, and boundless, these extraordinary men and women will inspire readers of all backgrounds to chase their dreams… whatever they may be.
