Diego Rivera: An Artist for the People by Susan Goldman Rubin

4.0

Diego Rivera is one of those larger than life kind of people so had to be interesting to research and write about. I enjoyed reading about him. He is one of those people who seemed so completely consumed by his talent. He was also more than a little attracted to the ladies. I wondered how that would be discussed in a children's book. Since that was a significant factor in his life, I am glad that it wasn't ignored. The writing was clear and written well for middle grade readers. I especially liked the book because recently I had been listening to the book Lacuna by Kingsolver which is about a person living with the Rivera family. It was fun to see a factual account after that. Now I am even more eager to read the Frida Kahlo book that Yuyi Morales is illustrating. I think it comes out in the fall.
