Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

¡Viva la causa!

¡Viva César Chávez!

Up and down the San Joaquin Valley of California, and across the country, people chanted these words. Cesar Chavez, a migrant worker himself, was helping Mexican Americans work together for better wages, for better working conditions, for better lives.

No one thought they could win against the rich and powerful growers. But Cesar was out to prove them wrong — and that he did.

Synopsis:

This biography of labor leader Cesar Chavez, whose vision of justice influenced a whole generation, brings to life the man, his work, and his legacy.

Synopsis:

The next addition to Aladdin's new nonfiction chapter book series Milestone Books--bringing history alive for young readers! Cesar Chavez was a labor leader whose vision of justice extended beyond the fields of California. He influenced a whole generation and continues to influence people in our time. For Latinos he is as important and monumental as Martin Luther King Jr. This biography brings to life the man, his work, and the legacy he left behind.
