Shout Mouse Press

Celebrate the launch of four new teen-authored bilingual children's books.

Shout Mouse Press and Latin American Youth Center celebrate the launch of four new bilingual Spanish/English children’s books authored by immigrant youth. These young adult authors, representing eight countries around the world, used their own lived experiences to inspire endearing and authentic stories centering immigrant families as the inaugural titles in Shout Mouse’s ‘Beyond Borders’ series.

About the BooksEach of the four incredible books in the Beyond Borders series is an exploration of the immigrant experience from a youth perspective. In Searching for Sancocho/En busca del sancocho (illustrated by Yurieli Otero-Asmar), Jamileth Brito and Mario Serrano wanted to write a book that celebrated the deep connection of family recipes and honored their lost loved ones. Joy-Grace and the Dress Dilemma/Joy-Grace y el dilema del vestido (illustrated by Joy Ingram), a story by Joy Ugwu and Tseganesh Chala, is about the challenges—and the beauty!—of having a multicultural identity. While Perla’s Magical Goodbye/El adiós mágico de Perla (illustrated by Fatima Seck), by Deyssy Mosso and Yenner Rengifo Chaverra, reflects the experience of leaving home to move to another country. And the four writer team of Andy Pina, Antonia Marisol Garcia, Pedro Reyes, and Yunior Jose Garcia wrote Jasmín Pictures Home/Jasmín ilustra su hogar (illustrated by Ian L. Springer) to explores what it’s like to be different in a new country.
