Carnival Curves, Stacey Robinson
$16.99Two best friends. One unforgettable summer.
Set during Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, this affirming teen novel explores body image, culture, and friendship on the brink of adulthood.
The Latin & Caribbean Voices collection centers writers from Latin America, the Caribbean, and across the diaspora — storytellers whose words are shaped by memory, migration, music, language, place, ritual, and joy.
Here you’ll find fiction, memoir, poetry, cookbooks, visual art, theory, children’s books, and revolutionary writing that celebrate cultural depth and creativity. This category uplifts voices that are Afro-Latinx, Indigenous, queer, trans, feminist, immigrant, and diasporic, honoring the interconnected histories and futures of the region.
These books move between islands and continents, past and present, borders and borderlessness, carrying stories of family, resilience, imagination, political struggle, and cultural pride. Some titles dance. Some testify. Some dream. All contribute to the long, living conversation of what it means to belong — or remake belonging on your own terms.
