- Stories to Our Children: A Program Aimed at Developing Authentic and Culturally Relevant Literature for Latina/o Children Rosado, Luis Amaro-Jiménez, Carla Kieffer, Ivonne Culturally Relevant Education School Districts Public Libraries Program Development College Faculty Hispanic Americans Literature Cultural Awareness Ethnic Groups Teacher Education Programs Bilingualism English (Second Language) Second Language Learning Parent Participation Books Spanish School Community Programs College School Cooperation Workshops This article describes a unique program co-sponsored by a local public library, a university teacher preparation program, and a school district, created to support Latina/o parents as they produced authentic and culturally relevant literature representing multiple ethnic groups living in the Southwestern United States. A program like the one reported here could potentially lessen the gap existent in the availability of authentic literature written by Latina/os and could ignite a whole new group of readers and writers that can speak to the unique experiences they bring to this country--be it through a different cultural or linguistic lens or through the sharing of stories which would have otherwise gone unheard.
