[CASL-L] Cool virtual book club opportunity for We Are Not From Here by Jenny Torres Sanchez

[Melissa Thom]

Good Morning,

I wanted to share this with you because this book is very powerful! Cindy
Rodriguez shared it via Facebook. If you aren't familiar with Latinxs in
Kid Lit <https://latinosinkidlit.com/>, it's a great resource!

The August Book Club selection for Latinxs in Kid Lit is WE ARE NOT FROM
HERE by Jenny Torres Sanchez. This is a powerful, relevant young adult
novel about three teens from Guatemala who risk their lives to get to the
U.S. border. Buy the book, read it, then join us 8/26 at 7 pm EST. Go to
https://tinyurl.com/yba7yr35 to sign up for the Zoom meeting that will
include a visit by the author! Open to teens and adults.

Take care and hope to see many of you later today for #TryThisOnMonday at
4:00.  Here is the link if you are interested:
