Abstract

This research engaged a qualitative content analysis of current Latinx picture books about immigration. The study aimed to identify a thoroughly analyzed text set of 16 picture books from 2021 to present that support classroom teachers and students as they engage in discourse around Latinx immigration. Texts were selected from 8 sources. The data analysis demonstrated the authenticity of the texts through a thoroughly designed a priori coding framework, examining text features, themes, images, and symbolic messages. All 16 texts were found to be more culturally authentic.
