For librarians, educators, and parents in search of books for young readers, De Colores is a blog dedicated to "review[ing] and critiqu[ing] children's and young adult books about Raza peoples throughout the Diaspora." De Colores is authored and edited by educator Beverly Slapin and authored by a team of literature scholars, librarians, educators, and activists. Visitors can find the most recent book reviews on the site's homepage. Each book review contains a thorough synopsis and a short passage of the book - some entries reference books of related interest. Visitors can also browse previously reviewed books by title or by labels, which include author names and subject tags. The essays/stories section features longer essays that incorporate related children's literature. Another highlight of this blog is the valuable teaching resource "How to Tell the Difference: A Guide for Evaluating Children's Books for Honest Portrayals of Raza People."
