Learning from Latino Role Models provides teachers with instructional resources that can be easily used in classroom settings so that they are culturally responsive to their Latino students. The book has two parts: Part I offers 20 sets of activities designed around Latino role models, and aims to help students learn how Latinos offer unique contributions to this nation. It is expected that these resources can help Latino schoolchildren find inspiration to realize their own goals. Part II offers 20 sets of activities around select picture books that reflect the Latino community and cultural heritage. The activities are designed to help children come to identify with the stories’ controlling themes as they address Latino culture, history, values, and experiences. In all, the instructional sets are complete with questions that motivate critical thinking; activity ideas that reinforce the meaning or the intended message of the story; and vocabulary to enhance students’ communication skills. Additionally, each set comes with corresponding worksheets for the students to complete.

She can't stay in his world—and he can't leave his Brilliant, driven surgical superstar Caroline Malone is desperate to recover from the injury that threatens to end her career, and she'll try anything that might help her heal—including a rest away from it all in the remote Davis Mountains of west Texas. Half Latino, half Anglo, Diego Montalvo knows exactly how it feels to have fate change your life. Three years ago he lost men as a Special Forces medic, and almost lost his life. Now back in the valley he left to follow the call of ambition—and feeling a measure of peace at last—he's trying to make a new life combining his Western medical training with the nontraditional ways of his Latino heritage as a curandero or folk healer. Diego's hard-won peace vanishes when Caroline arrives. He understands her world—once it was all he wanted—and there is much he can teach her…if she'll let him. But if he succeeds in healing her, she'll return to a world that's not the world where Diego is needed…or the one he needs.
