Save the Date – 5/30 Launch of "Voces sin Fronteras"

Join us for the launch of our first ever graphic memoir collection. 

During the summer of 2017, Shout Mouse Press held a month-long workshop with LAYC's Latino Youth Leadership Council (LYLC), a passionate group of young people dedicated to social justice in their community. The workshop, led by a team of teaching artists with experience devising and illustrating comic books, resulted in a graphic memoir collection, titled Voces sin Fronteras: Our Stories, Our Truth.

Voces Sin Fronteras is a bilingual collection of 16 self-illustrated graphic memoirs by teen immigrants from Central America and the Caribbean. These thought-provoking and powerfully honest stories address themes of poverty, family, grief, education, and, of course, the pain and promise of immigration. This book is an opportunity to hear directly from youth who are often in the headlines but whose stories don’t get told in full. 

This project is timely, ambitious, and a much-needed addition to current national discussions about who we are as a country.  

We can’t wait for you to read it.

Join us for the Book Launch to meet the authors, discuss the role of teen voices and graphic memoirs in the modern political climate, and to CELEBRATE.

In the meantime, RSVP and spread the word!
