In honor of this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, our friends Mighty Kind curated a special new booklist that helps reflect some of the deep diversity of Hispanic and Latin American heritage. Eleven countries are represented – either by the book’s author or its subject and/or story. Explore and read this booklist with your child – and celebrate Hispanic Heritage together all throughout the year.

Since its first historic performance in 1958, Ailey has been innovating and evolving the perception of American modern dance throughout the world. Noggin is honored to partner with them in helping kids all over get up moving, learning, and expressing their feelings through dance. Because movement has meaning when we dance how we’re feeling!
