Arturo submitted by poptart887 on July 22, 2020, 6:35pm A very informative book about Arturo's life and what he did during his life. I love that he built a library, we love the library! It is amazing to me to see how much hatred there was towards blacks all over the world. I honestly had no idea!
Like many others this book is better for older kids, my two preschoolers couldn't make it through this very factual and informational book. I will be looking for others about Arturo!
