Reviews
The Beginner Biography series (4 new titles) welcomes another worthy set of Americans to its ranks with these latest volumes for primary-grade readers. Cesar Chavez introduces the Mexican American advocate for farm workers' rights, highlighting how he and Dolores Huerta formed the United Farm Workers of America and how Chavez later led a protest march on behalf of grape pickers. Each of these volumes progresses sequentially from its subject's childhood to his or her death. Color illustrations and the occasional photo complement the reader-friendly text, which consists of short paragraphs and 'Good to Know' fact boxes; the latter often impart historical context, such as the internment of Japanese Americans and the tragedy of the Trail of Tears. A time line recaps the 'big dates' in each person's life, followed by a glossary, further reading, and an index. Best for larger collections.--Booklist -- Journal
