Bravo! Poems about Amazing Hispanics
Illustrated by Rafael Lopez PICTURE
BOOK Godwin Books, 2017 (Henry Holt and Co).
$18.99 Content: G.
Eighteen different Hispanic people are
covered in this illustrated book of poems.
Each poem eludes to how that person overcame hardship and contributed to
the greater good in America. At the back
of the book is a full paragraph that gives a better biography about what that
person did. The people are from all
different time periods, as far back as the 1700’s and all of them have passed
away.
The poems were too vague and I
found that I wanted more information. I
actually liked the biographies at the back of the book the most. The illustrations are fantastic and so well
done. I loved that there is a picture
book that celebrates some of the Hispanic people. This would be good to use for a
biography unit to give kids a quick introduction and maybe spark a further
interest in learning more about the people included in this book.
