Preschool-Grade 3 Father-and-son authors David A. Adler and Michael S. Adler's linear biography of C�sar Ch�vez, originally published in English in 2010, is now available in this Spanish translation. The narrative begins when Ch�vez is a boy, delving into the instances that shape his life. His quotes, peppered throughout the narrative, add insight and authenticity, though some (such as a line about Mexican nationals taking jobs as Ch�vez and his associates struggle with unemployment) lack important context and could be insensitive considering the potential audience of the book--supplementary reading or guidance will likely be needed. Overall, however, the book highlights the struggles Ch�vez overcame to secure better working conditions for agricultural laborers, and impactful moments in the life of Ch�vez conveyed directly allow young audiences to appreciate the activist. Olofsdotter's warm-toned illustrations pleasantly reflect the narrative and use delicate lines and overlapping colors to infuse the images with texture and depth. A detailed time line and bibliography with valuable information about the quotes in the narrative conclude.
