Review An accessible picture book about the life of Diego Rivera sounds like an oxymoron, but Winter and Winter succeed beyond belief. His early life is the focus; the text in Spanish and English captions the paintings. It does a journeymans job of conveying facts in well-condensed sentences; the Spanish translation is clear and easy to follow. The paintings are done in Riveras own colossal style, even though they actually measure only a few inches square. Winter displays her clear knowledge of and love for her subject.--(starred) School Library Journal. ---------- Una excelente primera biografía. -- Kirkus Reviews Ganadora del Premio New York Times Best Illustrated Childrens Book y del Reading Rainbow™ Book From the Inside Flap This story of Diego Rivera, the greatest muralist of Mexico--and of the world--is told in Spanish and English.
