Themes: Activism, Peace, Social Activism, Hope, Prejudice,
Classroom Implications: This books makes a perfect compliment iwth Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez by Kathleen Krull. Whereas Krull's book is a biographical picture book, Bernier-Grand's book offers a more poetic, minimalistic tribute to Chavez's life's work.
Note: A glossary and translation of the Spanish words used, a concise well-written biographical essay, and famous Chávez quotes are appended. (amazon.com) Purchase
This is a working annotated bibliographic list of children's and young adult books. It is intended for this list to grow as my exposure to new texts expands.
A note about organization: Each book has several "tags" attached to it. This design accomodates different search purposes and is a way to purposefully peruse the list.
