Voces Sin Fronteras: Our Stories, Our Truth
by the Latino Youth Leadership Council of LAYC
The Latin American Youth Center brings Meg Medina together with 16 young authors in this collection of original comics based on true events. Voces Sin Fronteras speaks to immigration, fitting in, and growing up with comics presented in both English and Spanish. Titles include "Don't Believe Everything You Think", "Hope Never Dies", "I Cross barriers to Change Myself", "Coming Out of the Bubble", and more.

From the publisher: “During a time of heated immigration debate and unrest, this book is an opportunity to hear directly from youth who are often in the headlines but whose stories don’t get told in full. Sixteen young people from the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) in Washington, D.C. came together to tell their own stories of immigration and transformation in comics form. The result is this side-by-side bilingual collection of graphic memoirs that not only builds connections across language, but also breaks down barriers and expands hope.”
