5.0

I loved this lyrical account of Cesario's life. It was nice to refresh my memory about his work, but also to learn more about his childhood. I don't think I knew that his family lost their ranch in the Great Depression and ended up as farm workers. This would be a nice book to pair with Esperanza Rising. Also, at the end there is some information including the date when several states recognize him - March 31st. I read this just in time so we can acknowledge his contributions in our school announcements since our state doesn't have that holiday and our students and probably even our staff wouldn't know about it. The illustrations are also beautiful.
