Central American Stories

Central American Stories is a curated site highlighting children’s and YA books by Central American authors or about Central American experiences. Families looking to diversify reading lists beyond the usual Latinx titles appreciate that it foregrounds voices from countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, which are often underrepresented in U.S. libraries. Each book entry includes age recommendations and brief descriptions, making it easy to find read‑alouds or independent reads that match your child’s level. Parents can use the site to build mini‑units around migration, identity, or regional history, pairing novels with documentaries or family stories. Because the site itself is free, most of your cost goes toward purchasing or borrowing featured books.
