From Booklist:
EDWARD MARTINEZ is the illustrator of another Green Light Reader, Farmers Market by Carmen Parks. He lives in South Kent, Connecticut.
Gr. 1-2. This simple story recounts an incident from the childhood of Mexican American writer and educator Tomas Rivera and suggests its far-reaching effects on his life. After a day of hard work picking farm crops with his family in the 1940s, young Tomas enjoys hearing his grandfather tell stories. When Tomas confides that he wants to tell stories, too, Grandpa takes him to the library, and soon the boy begins writing stories of his own. When he becomes an adult, his stories are published and a library is named after him. Like other books in the Green Light Readers series (Level 2), this ends with a few questions based on the text, several activities, and information on the writer and illustrator. Medina's straightforward writing is enhanced by the warm depictions of Rivera and his family in the painterly illustrations. Though not a full biography, this short book provides a good introduction to Rivera for young children, particularly those who have heard of Texas State University's Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award.
