What reviewers said
Praise for DIEGO (1991):"An accessible picture book about the life and work of Diego Rivera sounds like an oxymoron, but Winter . . . succeed[s] beyond belief. . . . The last pictures show him as a young man, perched on his scaffolding, brushes in hand, beckoning viewers on with his ardent glance. Readers will wish they could follow." -- School Library Journal"An excellent beginning biography." -- Kirkus* One of The Ruminator Review's 100 Best Children's Books of the Twentieth Century * A Reading Rainbow Review book* A 1991 Parents' Choice Award Honor winnerPraise for FAIR BALL!…
