Lempke, Susan Dove. Kathleen Krull Harvesting Hope: the Story of Cesar Chavez. The Horn Book Magazine. 01-JUL-03. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-24011679_ITM
“The brief text creates a remarkably complex view of Chavez--his experiences and feelings. Krull's empathetic words are well paired with artist Yuyi Morales's mixed-media acrylic paintings, which are suffused with a variety of emotions, especially fear and sorrow.”
This quote sums up a lot of the emotion that one develops upon reading and studying this text and its illustration. Both convey the world Chavez was struggling to improve. With few words Krull is able to open readers to thought and opinion of racism and its effects.
