Si se puede! Learn all about the Mexican American activist who fought tirelessly to promote better conditions for workers in this engaging picture book biography, now available in Spanish.

This clear and concise biography with colorful illustrations details the amazing life of Mexican American labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez. As a child in California during the Great Depression, Cesar picked produce with his family to make ends meet. The work was backbreaking, the pay was low, and many families, including his, were homeless. But to Cesar, dignity always meant more than money.

Chavez grew up and dedicated his life to helping American farmworkers, arguing for better pay and fair working conditions. He was even jailed for his efforts. But he never stopped urging people to stand up for their rights. Young readers will be inspired by the fascinating life story of this champion of social justice.

Back matter includes a thorough timeline, source notes, bibliography, and author's note. The expert translation makes this book an essential addition to libraries with a robust Spanish-language readership.
