America's fastest-growing ethnic minority has increased by nearly 60 percent since 1990, yet quality materials chronicling this rich culture are often lacking in today's curriculum. Developed with the same bold, intelligent initiative as our renowned series, Journey to Freedom, A Proud Heritage helps students gain a deep appreciation for Spanish-speaking peoples and nations and their essential contributions. Beautifully designed volumes include exciting biographies, historical narratives, and lively introductions to holidays such as Cinco de Mayo.
