What an amazing, vivid tribute to Latine legends! From singers and actresses to activists and scientists, Mancillas has included Latine people from past and present, from all walks of life and all careers, to create a truly stunning collection of biographies. The art is bright and appealing, and the biographies are so detailed! You can tell this was such a labor of love, and it belongs on everyone's bookshelf.

*The only downside to reading this as an ARC first is that, as another reviewer pointed out, the font was a bit small and difficult to read. I moreso skimmed the biographies because of this, but I am *so* excited to check it out when it's published! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with the free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early copy of this book.

For each individual, there is a page-long biography along with a full-page, beautifully illustrated portrait. There are a few people who have three pages devoted to them, but I understood how their biographies couldn't be condensed and/or the illustrations really took center stage.

At the back of the book, there is a selected biography for each person.

It made me emotional to see how Latines have affected all of our lives in big and small ways. I think every so often we have to be reminded of this fact.

I had some trouble reading this book because of the biography text was such a thin font coupled with a less than black color which was off-putting with the background colors. (It didn't help either with the watermark on each page, but I know that wouldn't be on the final versions.) Having the font be thicker ("regular" instead of "thin") would benefit the reader more and would make it easier to read especially since I imagine the physical copies would be a similar size to the Rebel Girls series.

I did find one error. In Sylvia Mendez's biography, the city's name is Westminster and the county is Orange whereas it's written as "Westminster County, California." I know this since I'm from there. It didn't deter me at all, but it pulled me out of reading for a moment to verify I wasn't misremembering.
