“By having Latina/o teacher’s perspectives at the center of this book, Ochoa offers a distinct view on the current state of education.  This book is a must read for everyone who is in or cares about education and the future of this country.”—Alicia Velazquez, Early Academic Outreach Program, University of California, Riverside

“Dr. Ochoa paints an extremely dense and accurate picture of what it is like to be a Latina/o child and navigate through the educational system in the United States. This book speaks to the importance that storytelling and narrative teachings bring to the Latina/o educational experience.” —Bianca Guzmán, Child Psychologist, co-editor of Latina Girls: Voices of Adolescent Strength in the United States, Choices Director of Research and Adjunct Faculty at California State University, Los Angeles
