Book Reviews of A Picture Book of Simon Bolivar (Picture Book Biography)
Book Review: Simon Bolivar, the George Washington of South America
Summary: 5 Stars
"The George Washington of South America". Such comparisons are usually not pertinent. This one, and with this book, it is. It is, because Simon Bolivar would have liked it himself. He carried with him, always, until his last moment, the Yorktown medal of George Washington, with his miniature picture and a lock of his hair, given to him by Mrs. Washington via the General / Marquis Lafayette, the French hero of the American War of Independence. So this marvelous book brings Simon Bolivar to the hands and imagination of USA children and some adults! The man that with the help of Britain, personified in the mostly Irish British Legion, liberated six nations of South America. The man that conceived the union of the American Sub-Continents. With exquisite drawings, not always accurate but always kind and nice to look at, this beautiful book is a great homage to diversity in the Americas, and to the fact that success flows in both directions.
