Cultures: La Familia Banderas

Latinos in the US place a high value on music, food, national heritage, and religion. However, within the US Latino population is a very diverse range of traditions, just as the population itself comes from very diverse backgrounds. This book explains differences between different Latino cultures, between Latino and non-Latino cultures, and teaches Spanish language throughout. The La Familia Banderas series are illustrated activity books designed to teach children (ages 8-12) about the many diverse and unique Latino cultures in the US, by introducing them to a four-generation Latino family, the Banderas Family. Students will join cousins Iris, Angelica, Alex and Felix, along with their parents, grandparents, and other relatives, as they learn about the differences in culture, food, language, religion, and nationalities of their Latino community. The books are written in English with many Spanish vocabulary words and translations.
