Bravo! Poems About Amazing Hispanics (English version)
¡Bravo!Poemas sobre Hispanos Extraordinarios (Spanish version)
by Margarita Engle, illustrated by Rafael López


Bravo! is "not a book about the most famous Hispanics", Margarita Engle writes in the introduction to the book, but instead a beautiful collection of poems about people who lived and thrived in the United States throughout history.  Each poem is like a conversation with the subject, not merely a biographical sketch (though you will find notes about their lives at the end of the book).  Engle's words will spark curiosity within readers to learn more about these poets, painters, cowboys and librarians.  And,  Rafael López's illustrations illuminate the poems, making them real.  The book is organized in chronological order by the subject's birth year.  The library owns both the English and Spanish versions of the book.  Enjoy! 

Pura Belpré, José Martí, Ynés Mexía, Arnold Rojas and Louis Agassiz Fuertes are featured among the 18 amazing Hispanics.
