The second annual Sacramento Latino Book and Family Festival will take place this weekend at Sacramento City College.

The event celebrates literacy and this year features 60 authors, along with actor and activist Edward James Olmos. There will also be Aztec dancers and more entertainment. 

Rene Aguilera, the festival’s organizer and award-winning author Reyna Grande joined KCRA 3 on Wednesday to talk about the event. 

Grande, who is from Woodland, is the author of books including “The Distance Between Us” and “A Dream Called Home.” 

Aguilera said she was honored to represent the community at the event and encouraged people to read “and celebrate our stories.”
