Summary: Putting Faces to Issues
Comment: Putting faces to issues. It's something Eve Bunting does so well. It's easy to take a broad stance when you can't connect a face, or a need, or generations of a hard working family to an issue. Eve Bunting pushes back against the stereotypes of day laborers in this book and brings to the subject dignity, the value of hard work, some tough choices, and a few valuable lessons. Kids don't need easy stereotypes, especially as they try to navigate their sense of right and wrong through an ever changing world. They are always in need of something more authentic. That's Eve Bunting. Kids need Eve Bunting.

Summary: Excellent Book For Multi-cultural Learning & Integrity
Comment: "A Day's Work" is a beautiful tale about the difficult life of a migrant worker. My mom is a 2nd grade teacher and book reviewer for her district and our favorite past time is reading children's books together. She read this one to me and I was in tears! It is such a beautiful story about integrity and character. You will love this book!

Summary: How about a postive view of Hispanic families? This isn't it.
Comment: This book focuses on how a Hispanic family need to work for a white man and that speaking Spainish is not really valuble. Please choose another book when looking for a multicultural book for your class or child.

Summary: a day's work by Jonathan C
Comment: A Day's Work
Calling all gardening lovers, you should read this book by Eve Bunting and illustrated by Ronald Himler. The characters of the book are a little boy
named Francisco, Francisco's Abuelo, and Ben the
gardening worker. When Abuelo wants a job, he
goes to a parking lot where there are trucks that
pick up workers. When a gardening person comes,
Francisco lies saying that his Abuelo is a great
gardener but he is not. So Abuelo gets a job as a
gardener in a field and something goes wrong.
I like this book because it is telling you to never
give up. I think Francisco learned not to lie. I
recommend this book to someone who likes
gardening.
