Bernier-Grand tells Chavez's life story in nineteen poems. This Spanish edition does a good job conveying Bernier-Grand's language, but in many cases it would scan just as well set in conventional paragraphs. Diaz's digitally generated stencil-like illustrations are unengaging. Timeline, websites. Glos.

An ALA Pura Belpré Honor Book for Narrative and Illustration. An ALA Notable Book. Born in 1927 in Yuma, Arizona, César Chavez lived the hard-scrabble life of a migrant worker during the Depression. Although his mother wanted him to get an education, César left school after eighth grade to work. He grew to be a charismatic leader and founded the National Farm Workers Association, an organization that fought for basic rights for farm workers. In powerful poems and dramatic stylized illustrations, Carmen T. Bernier-Grand and David Díaz pay tribute to Chavez's legacy helping migrant workers improve their lives by doing things by themselves for themselves.
