In this Pura Belpre award-winning picture book, illustrated by
Caldecott Honree Yuyi Morales, acclaimed author Kathleen Krull
celebrates Latinx civil rights leader Cesar Chavez. An inspirational
book about resistance and hope.
When Cesar Chavez led a 340-mile peaceful protest march through
California, he ignited a cause and improved the lives of thousands of
migrant farmworkers.
But Cesar wasn't always a leader. As a boy, he was shy and teased at
school. His family slaved in the fields for barely enough money to
survive. Cesar knew things had to change, and he thought that--maybe--he
could help change them. So he took charge. He spoke up. And an entire
country listened.
