(2) K-3 Translated by Adriana Domínguez. Illustrated by Beatriz Vidal. José Martí was a poet and freedom fighter born during the Spanish colonization of Cuba in the nineteenth century; he would dedicate his life to abolishing slavery in Cuba and gaining Cuba's independence. Otheguy's verse is seamlessly combined with excerpts from Martí's own Versos sencillos. Vidal's folk art–style gouache illustrations are soft yet evocative. A gorgeous bilingual tribute to the life of Cuba's hero-poet. Bib.
