Meet the Authors

As immigrants and activists, the young people at LAYC recognized the urgent need for #OwnVoices stories to provide a human face to the U.S. immigration debate. With few youth-focused books reflecting their personal narratives, they decided to boldly share their own. In the Beyond Borders series, young authors wrote children’s books centering immigrant stories. Through Author Talks, book donations, and books sales, the voices of these predominantly Latinx immigrant authors have reached readers and leaders across the country. Proceeds from their books support new authors and fund scholarships for immigrant youth.
