CON TODO PRESS, was created in 2018 to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities. CTP publishes books that reflect a more balanced representation of women, Latinos, and people of color. Our first book, “Be Bold, Be Brave: 11 Latinas who made U.S. History,” highlights 11 women who excelled in medicine, science, sports, the arts, journalism and politics. Our upcoming titles will also have main characters of color, and contain culturally relevant subject matter written by Latinx authors. Our mission is to keep producing books told from an authentic and relatable perspective, that will bridge the gap between communities of color and media. According to 2018 statistics from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) only 10% of characters represented in children’s picture books were African American, 7% Asian, 5% Latinx, and 1% American Indian.
