Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez ($17) is an excellent biography of the leader of California migrant farmworkers. The story begins with his childhood in Arizona and continues throughout his life, describing his evolution as an organizer and peaceful fighter for justice. The book also highlights the 340-mile protest march from Delano to Sacramento in 1966, which led to the first contract for farmworkers in U.S. history.
