Roses for Isabella

32 pp. | SteinerBooks | June, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8801-0731-0 $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Córdova. Young Isabella, through the conceit of a school writing project, teaches readers about her Ecuadorian parents' fight against pesticides and for fair-trade status for their rose farm. The framework is clumsy, but the information is sound. Córdova's fluid, vibrant-hued paintings enliven the presentation. An afterword by Lynn Lohr of Fair Trade USA tells more about the process.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
