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.

His mom had packed his lunch bag with two burritos, a bag of corn
chips, some carrots, and an apple. Once a week she tucks in a slice
of her special lemon pound cake. Rafael saw Kevin, a new kid in his
class, sneak his lunch bag from underneath his desk and tuck it in
his backpack. But how can he do something about the theft without
picking a fight? Inspired by his mother's advice to "Use your mouth
before your fists," Rafael bides his time, but other kids' lunches
are disappearing,too. On an errand with his mom, Rafael sees Kevin
carrying a bundle of laundry into a motel room, and his mom tells
him Kevin's family might be one of the families who lost their
homes in the recent wildfires. Rafael rethinks his anger. The next
day, instead of accusing Kevin, Rafael invites him to share his
lunch, letting Kevin know he's been caught, but offering friendship
as well as lunch.
