In the small community of Zapata, there is an unlikely business that wants to make a big impact in the country.
Recognized as one of the few Hispanic-only book publishing businesses in the country, Zapata County is home to one of the first bilingual-oriented book publishing companies in the country. Del Alma Publications, LLC tailors books to Hispanic and Latino children all throughout the state and country. Its outreach is only growing as the need for more bilingual books grows nationally and even to some extent internationally.
