REVIEWS<\/h3>\n

“L\u00f3pez’s bright portraits of notable Hispanics have the large scale and graphic discipline of poster art.”<\/em><\/p>\n

-New York Times Bookshelf \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Lopez’s full page, mixed media portraiture captures both the nobility and humanity of his subjects”.<\/em><\/p>\n

-Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The pairing of these biographical poems with L\u00f3pez\u2019s distinctive artwork leaves a lasting visual impression, as the subjects, surrounded by images representing their vocations, look readers straight in the eye or are totally absorbed in their work. These full-page illustrations serve as bold counterparts to the poems”. <\/em><\/p>\n

“L\u00f3pez\u2019s artwork\u2014created with acrylic on wood, pen and ink, watercolor, construction paper, and Adobe Photoshop\u2014captures the essence of each figure. The format allows the reader to linger and reflect on each spread, strengthening visual literacy and reinforcing the belief that poetry is art-and it is meant to be savored”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013School Library Journal Starred Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The portraits by Rafael L\u00f3pez are stunning and evocative, each incorporating images of the subject’s interests and accomplishments. For instance, birds fly around Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who painted birds, and clouds drift past A\u00edda De Acosta, the first woman pilot”.<\/em><\/p>\n

-Common Sense Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

“On one page each person is stunningly portrayed in L\u00f3pez’s strong and vibrant style; opposite is a first-person biographical poem that provides a glimpse into its subject’s life”. <\/em><\/p>\n

-Kirkus<\/strong><\/p>\n
