Canto Contigo has all the humor, heart, and hermosos a reader could ever want! Jonny Garza Villa strikes gold again with sun sign Leo Rafie and his gotta be an earth sign one night almost hookup turned mariachi rival, Rey! 

This book has so much to offer readers from culture, to exploring colorism, homophobia, and transphobia in the Mexican community, to the sheer love and celebration of being embraced for exactly who you say you are. 

I love the work Jonny Garza Villa is doing on behalf of all of our Queer Latino kids who now have mirrors to reflect their identity and experiences. He’s helping kids feel less alone, one book at a time.
