Discusses the childhood of Diego Rivera (Mexico) and how it influenced his art

This is a biography about Diego Rivera a famous Mexican artist. I enjoyed the story from his childhood to his adult life, that the book was presented both in English and Spanish and the great illustrations which really gave the book character. I only removed half a star because of the fact that many of the sentences were overly simple which broke up the story and stuck out to me. ( )

I think that this book is very good for young children to be read to. It gives you a few details about his childhood and inspiration for is artworks. I also liked the fact that everything was translated into spanish after every passage or so. If I were to change anything it would be to give a little more background of Diego as a whole. There was definitely a lot there like both him and his brother falling ill and going entering an art school, but maybe a tiny bit more. ( )
