Representation matters; healed my inner tween

Revisado: 07-29-24

Let me start out by saying that in my 30 years, I never felt so represented in a story like I did with Mani Semilla. As a first gen, Guatemalan American daughter, I related to so much throughout the story and felt seen in ways I’ve never experienced in other books, even ones written by other Latinos. I have laughed, cried, and just felt so touched by all the cultural references and details that could only be expressed by another Chapina. I truly didn’t want it to end. Mani Semilla is a beautiful coming of age story that weaves together the themes of womanhood and social justice in a way that’s accessible to younger generations, while still being enjoyable for older women. Reading this was truly healing for my inner tween and I can’t wait to purchase a physical copy for my library. I plan to share this story with all the women in my family and beyond. Highly recommend
