Born in 1927 in Yuma, Arizona, César Chavez lived the hard-scrabble life of a migrant worker during the depression. He grew to be a charismatic leader and founded the National Farm Workers Association, an organization that fought for basic rights for his fellow farm workers. In powerful poems and dramatic stylized illustrations, Carmen T. Bernier-Grand and David Díaz pay tribute to his life and legacy. (Goodreads)
David Diaz complements the biographical story of Cesar Chavez with his artistic interpretation using color and lines. He still makes his artwork stand out using a outlining glow behind his characters instead of the bold black lines you often see in his work. Colors are bold but also have a soft quality about them.
