About the Book
Young readers will be inspired by the fascinating life story of this champion of social justice.

Cesar Chavez dedicated his life to helping American farmworkers. As a child growing up in California during the Great Depression, he picked produce with his family. Cesar saw firsthand how unfairly workers were treated. As an adult, he organized farmworkers into unions and argued for better pay and fair working conditions. He was jailed for his efforts, but never stopped urging people to stand up for their rights.
