read review

"Petruccio’s vivid illustrations clearly support and sometimes extend the ideas in the text. Children who have listened to the book read aloud could easily return to the illustrations and tell the story for themselves."

Petruccio’s realistic illustrations depict José as an enthusiastic, wide-eyed dreamer, working hard to overcome rejection. While this is a straightforward biography, it is told in an optimistic voice, and Hernández’s story will inspire children of all ages who may feel that their dreams are unachievable.”      Booklist
