Summary

The story of Cesar Chavez is as topical and vital a story today as it was when it was an integral part of current events and not a story in history. This volume, dedicated to passing on the story of Chavez s life to young readers, provides educators with an essential tool to teach social justice, workers rights, and how to stand up for your convictions through age-appropriate language and explanation of concepts. This inspiring biography follows Chavez s journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most vital civil rights activists of our time.
