In brief.

Utterly charming.

Alvarez, Julia: A Cafecito Story

Read July 5, 2006.
A very simple tale about one man's discovery of and subsequent efforts regarding fair-trade practices in coffee-growing in the Dominican Republic.

There's nothing particularly memorable about either the prose or the accompanying woodcuts. However, I suspect this short book could function as an introduction to inspiring awareness in young adults of environmental issues and business pratices.
