Diego
Description
Illus. in full color. "An accessible picture book about the life of DiegoRivera 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.
