A Jane Addam's Children's Book Award Honor Book for Younger
Children Dolores is a teacher, a mother, and a friend. She wants to
know why her students are too hungry to listen, why they don't have
shoes to wear to school. Dolores is a warrior, an organizer, and a
peacemaker. When she finds out that the farm workers in her
community are poorly paid and working under dangerous conditions,
she stands up for their rights. This is the story of Dolores Huerta
and the extraordinary battle she waged to ensure fair and safe work
places for migrant workers. The powerful text, paired with Robert
Casilla's vibrant watercolor-and-pastel illustrations, brings
Dolores's amazing journey to life. A timeline, additional reading,
articles, websites, and resources for teachers are included. The
author will donate a portion of the proceeds from sales of the book
to an organization that benefits migrant workers.
