¡Sí se puede! Learn all about the Mexican American activist who fought tirelessly to promote better conditions for workers in this engaging picture book biography, now available in Spanish.

Esta biografía clara y concisa con coloridas ilustraciones detalla la asombrosa vida del líder sindical mexicano-estadounidense y activista de derechos civiles César Chávez. Cuando era niño en California durante la Gran Depresión, César recogía productos agrícolas con su familia para llegar a fin de mes. El trabajo era agotador, el salario era bajo y muchas familias, incluida la suya, se quedaron sin hogar. Pero para César, la dignidad siempre significó más que el dinero.

Chávez creció y dedicó su vida a ayudar a los trabajadores agrícolas estadounidenses, defendiendo mejores salarios y condiciones laborales justas. Incluso fue encarcelado por sus esfuerzos. Pero nunca dejó de instar a la gente a defender sus derechos. Los jóvenes lectores se sentirán inspirados por la fascinante historia de vida de este campeón de la justicia social.
