Duncan Tonatiuh introduces young readers to muralist Diego Rivera and his many sources of inspiration, such as the Cubism movement that he discovered in Paris, the ruins of ancient Mexican civilizations, and the daily lives of the Mexican people. He concludes by asking, “What would Diego Rivera paint today?” These intriguing reflections are brought to life by Tonatiuh’s compelling, playful illustrations which evoke some of Diego’s best known scenes and murals. 2012 Pura Belpré Illustrator Award.
