Excerpt from Children's Stories of American Progress When the United States first became a nation, they included only that portion of the country lying along the Atlantic coast between Maine and Florida, and almost entirely east of the Ohio. These States, called sometimes the old thirteen, made up the United States of America. All the great West beyond was quite unknown to most of the people, and the few travellers who had seen its vast prairies and great rivers, and lofty mo'untain chains, were regarded with almost as much respect and admiration as had been given to the early voyagers across the At lantic.

★“Pura Belpré honoree Delacre’s chronicles—each different from the next—offer moving snapshots of family heartbreak, disadvantage, dysfunctionality, heartbreak, privilege, and joy.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ★ “Beautifully written with candor, honesty and perfect brevity. Delacre illustrates as well, providing a gorgeous mixed-media portrait of each story’s main character. A collection not to be missed.” — Booklist (starred review) “This welcome update to short story collections such as Gary Soto’s Baseball in April and prose alternative to Alma Flor Ada’s Yes!: We Are Latinos is a solid addition to libraries and would also add much-needed diversity to classroom study.” — School Library Journal “Portraits are indeed beautiful...will surely inspire discussion of current issues.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Delacre’s collection challenges existing misconceptions by giving readers an intimate and varied look into what it is like to be young and Latino in the United States today.” — The Horn Book “Middle grade readers will appreciate reading stories that reflect their lives, not their parents’ or grandparents’ stories” (from the “10 Exciting New Middle Grade Books with Latinx Main Characters”) — Brightly
