A visual--and, it must be said, spiritual--delight."--Kirkus "Schmidt's telling, touching in its simplicity, is well matched with Diaz's exceptional artwork, which is bold and referential in equal parts."--Booklist, starred review "An artful and reverent portrait of a lesser-known figure."--School Library Journal "Diaz's visualization of this story is magnificent."--Horn Book

Loved this book. The art was unique and refreshing and the story managed to be a story (not just a biographical sketch like so many other picture books do with real life figures). The reviewer who thought the art was weird? Ignore.
Great book on St. Martin de Porres for children and great info for Adults.
This was a very nice book. Beautiful pictures, and a great story. Be aware that there is a lot of words per page, so it is a book to read to children who are a little older, or for older children who are good readers.
The illustrations by David Diaz are beautiful. They match the inspirational story. Color and perspective are excellent. The child looks saintly and in bliss.
This is a beautifully illustrated book by the gifted David Diaz . The story is uplifting and will bring joy tomyour heart !
I got this book for the obvious reasons. It's about a marvelous Saint and geared toward young kids. I was very disappointed with it. I really wanted to love it, the illustrations are beautiful! However, this book portrays the clergy in a very negative light and not just a little bit. On about 60% of the pages in the book a negative message is put forth about the clergy by the way it is written. It is true that St. Martin faced much adversity and resistance, even from the Church but I don't want to be reading my kids a book that makes Priests out to be bad guys. Sure, they might have (and we don't know all of the details) been in error but this book is over the top and inappropriate. Surely there was a more respectful and helpful way of writing the story. Cultivating respect for clergy is important to our family and so I give this book 1 star. In fact, I think that St. Martin would have much more respect for clergy than this author does! After all, books about the saints should foster love of The Church that the saints themselves loved.And one more little thing, why is St. Martin the only Dominican in a Dominican habit? The rest are always wearing red...
Before I even read Martin de Porres: The Rose in Desert, as a catholic I had knew a bit about who he was and what people prayed for him to bring or protect. I enjoyed getting to read this book in that it was Culturally Authentic to the spanish words used and the context they were used in. The illustrator did a great job incorporating colors. Red was used to describe importance of a person status and hot weather. While Blue was used in a more peaceful parts of the story it described serenity and a time of change. Yellow, another great watercolor was used to describe growth with his lemon tree and growth within himself.Martin de Porres was the son of Spaniard Royal born into the hands of an African Peruvian slave. Through out his life he was consistently frowned upon for his mixed blood. He grew up in the poorest Barrios(urban streets) with his sister where much of land stunk and flooded with rats when the heavens poured down. His father Don Juan de Porres sought out to help his son and daughter from their poor living conditions and brought them to Ecuador to change their future. Martin was apprenticed by his father to become Limas Cirujano (towns surgeon). With his background as a Cirujano, many people began to seek for Martin and his healing hands. He was given lemon seeds that would feed and give him shade all year around by his first patient.Martin sought out to be the best healer that he could and help those in need to regain custody of his rightful name as the Rose of the Desert.The artwork is very artistic and detailed.Color was used effectively to show the mood at the time of the scene.Artwork was very humble.The color green mixed in with yellow was used well to show the growth in Martin as he went town to town helping those who lived in Barrios (urban streets)
In 1962, the Patron Saint of Brotherhood was named. The prayers of all those people seeking harmony in race relations and of mixed-races finally had a Saint and a name in which to make pleas. The world was in need of such a Saint and none other than Martin de Porres could righteously fit the prayers of the need. His journey is captured in this astounding easy reader and picture biography for all children to gather around and to read. Born to an enslaved African mother (Ana Velázquez) and a child of bi-racial heritage; his father was Don Juan de Porres, a Spanish royal, Martin de Porres Velázquez becomes a portrait of a rose in the desert. The writer and illustrator capture Martin as a poor and strange child who uses his skills to greater need. A strange child who’s sweetness is as a scent from lemons, his hands as hope and healing, and his vision beyond skin hues, wealth, life conditions, religion, and animal cruelty as tough humility. The book is a sweet coming story. Martin grows from being despised, to being educated, being a servant to priests, to being needed by all who came to know him, and becoming a canonized Saint some three-hundred years after his death. I’ve read other books about San de Porres, but this one captures, in artistic revelation, the importance of his life. The book is the winner of the 2013 Pura Belpre Award for Illustration. My only regret is that the book is not bilingual, which prohibits Spanish language readers from enjoying this story of a native, Latino, from Lima, Peru in his own language.
