Us, In Progress: Short Stories About Young Latinos is a thought provoking collection of stories about the diverse population of Latinx living in the United States. It is written and illustrated by acclaimed author and Pura Belpré Award honoree Lula Delacre, who brings her engaging and heart wrenching style to the collection. The stories in Us in Progress were inspired by tales from the author’s friends and family, and from news articles from across the United States. Through the eyes of Delacre’s characters, we see the difficulties of living in two cultures, the confusions, and the love and respect.
