———-

Es la historia de Diego Rivera, el gran muralista Mejicano–y del mundo–y est&#225 contada en Espa&#241ol y en Ingl&#233s. Vibrantes pinturas en miniatura transmiten el sentido de magia y aventura que marcaron los primeros a&#241os de Rivera y la historia nos muestra como al combinar su pasi&#243n por la pintura y el amor por su pa&#237s logr&#243 un poderoso arte que reconoce al pueblo Mejicano.

"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 journeyman’s job of conveying facts in well-condensed sentences; the Spanish translation is clear and easy to follow. The paintings are done in Rivera’s 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.
