Cesar Chavez: Fighting for Fairness (Famous Latinos) [Library Binding]

Lila Guzman (Author), Rick Guzman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3–4—Positive points in Chávez's life are highlighted chronologically. As a child of migrant workers, Chávez saw discrimination and unfairness around him and he wanted to make a difference. He became a leader and campaigned peacefully for better conditions. The narrative flows well and effectively conveys Chávez's bravery and tenacity. The sepia, black-and-white, and color photos of various sizes are laid out in an eye-catching fashion, and the tan page backgrounds provide warmth to the book. Lucile Davis's Cesar Chavez (Capstone, 1998) contains the same information but has only black-and-white photos. Guzmán's book has the look of a friendly read rather than just an item for research.

This review is from: Cesar Chavez: Fighting for Fairness (Famous Latinos) (Library Binding)

CESAR CHAVEZ: FIGHTING FOR FAIRNESS joins others in the 'Famous Latinos' series for grades 3-4, offering a little over thirty pages of basic biographical facts about Chavez' life, achievements, and the politics surrounding migrant worker issues. As an introduction for the young it holds a good blend of visuals and text suitable for reports.
