César

Born in 1927 in Yuma, Arizona, César Chavez lived the hard-scrabble life of a migrant worker during the Depression. Although his mother wanted him to get an education, César left school after eighth grade to work. He grew to be a charismatic leader and founded the National Farm Workers Association, an organization that fought for basic rights for farm workers.

Bernier-Grand and David Díaz pay tribute to Chavez's legacy helping migrant workers improve their lives by doing things by themselves for themselves.

La cocina es un lugar excelente para que los pequeños comiencen a descubrir el mundo natural mediante la observación y la experimentación de las frutas y las verduras que comemos todos los días: ¿qué clases de semillas existen? ¿Cuántas formas pueden tener las hojas? ¿Cómo crecen los gajos de las naranjas? En forma de un diario de campo, este libro de actividades invita a los jóvenes naturalistas a responder estas preguntas y pensar en muchas otras, y los anima a cortar, manipular, secar, cultivar, fotografiar, dibujar y coleccionar (y también comer) alimentos que ya tenemos a la...
