Customer Reviews

Great non-fiction for young readers.

With large print and phonetic spellings of Spanish words, this book takes readers through the life of Cesar Chavez from childhood to death. The photographs of Cesar as a small boy and Mexican strikers are very appealing to young audiences. I teach second grade and taught a unit on Cesar Chavez using this book as a reference for factual information. The students were engaged throughout the entire reading. Ages 7-9.
