Designed as an aid for librarians and teachers who are interested in exposing students to the cultures of Latino people through noteworthy books, Schon's guide will provide students in grades K-12 with an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the people, history, and art, as well as, the political, social, and economic problems of Latin America, Spain, and the Latino-heritage people in the United States.

Each book listed has been selected as exemplary on the basis of its quality of art and writing, presentation of material, and appeal to the intended audience. All contain recent information, and must be both entertaining and possessing high potential for interest of involvement of the reader. As opposed to many books that contain obsolete information or that expose a very limited or one-sided view of Latino/Hispanic people, customs, or countries, these recommended titles are refreshing, imaginative, or illuminating and present new insights into Latino people and cultures.

The Best of Latino Heritage will encourage readers, librarians, and teachers to expand their interests into the fascinating cultures of Latino/Hispanic people both in the United States and abroad.
