Family is everything in Hispanic culture.  Intergenerational bonds are built in Hispanic family units with respect, loyalty and tradition.  Join us to hear LLCC's own Latino author, John Paul Jaramillo, read excerpts from his book "Little Mocos."  Jaramillo will take us on a journey with a young Hispanic boy named Manito who yearns for truth and understanding in a complex poor Latino family living in Colorado.  Share your own stories with patriarchs, matriarchs and other family members who influenced your lives.
