This picture book biography of Mexican American labor leader Dolores Huerta describes how she helped organize migrant farm workers to protest poor wages and working condition. She became a co-founder of the United Farm Workers, and has worked tirelessly for workers, immigrant and women's rights throughout her life. This is a first book for Minnesota teacher Sarah Warren, and is illustrated by Robert Casilla. Backmatter includes a timeline and list of other resources about Huerta. The book was selected as a Jane Addams honor title in 2013. It might be used as a classroom resource for a unit on labor relations and treatment of workers.
