Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-4-- A clear but not very lively overview of the life of Benito Juarez. Bains covers the basic facts about the man's humble origins as a Zapotec Indian and his persistence to acquire an education under difficult circumstances. Juarez's career, which culminated in his election as president of Mexico in 1861, is cursorily treated. His character traits--honesty and courage--are stressed in simple but relevant examples of his political decisions to better the lives of the people. His support of Abraham Lincoln and the Union is underscored. There are no source notes. The pen-and-ink illustrations are merely decorative and do not contribute significantly to the text. Overall a barely average book with limited information.

This book is great,
By A Customer
This review is from: Benito Juarez, Hero of Modern Mexico (Paperback)
I like this book because it's about Mexico's great history. I also like it because it's about a young boy who is an orphan but still is very succesful in life.
