by Patty Rodriguez (Author) Citlali Reyes (Illustrator)
Introduce your little ones to tree-hugging environmentalist Chico Mendes in both English and Spanish! He advocated against deforestation, even going so far as to peacefully surround forest areas by blocking bulldozers. He felt no other fear than knowing that the rainforest was in danger and that it was up to him to defend it with his life.
¡Presénteles a sus pequeños al ambientalista que abraza los árboles, Chico Mendes, tanto en inglés como en español! Abogó contra la deforestación, llegando incluso a rodear pacíficamente las áreas forestales bloqueando las excavadoras. No sintió otro miedo que saber que la selva tropical estaba en peligro y que dependía de él defenderla con su vida.
