The Best Kids’ Books About Mexico
This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo this week, we have chosen our favorite children’s books about Mexico. Mexican culture is interesting and colorful, from it’s beautiful landscapes to its exuberant holidays and delicious food. Especially the food! Since we can’t travel to Mexico in person, we are settling in with some books that will take us there.
If you have any suggestions for us to add to our list, please let me know in the comments below.
