Description
This elegant offset printed poster is 21" x 27.75" and with a frame, will provide a visual statement that will capture an audience. Don't let this one slip by without a bid!
Pesticides kill more than insects. For this beautiful child growing up in MacFarland, CA near Bakersfield, the ugly truth is that odds are great she will develop cancer in her young life. Infact, MarFarland sadly boasts the highest childhood cancer per capita rate in the world-- pastures of plenty in more ways than one. Let's hope that things will change in her lifetime with awareness and legislation. The strength and vulnerability of her clutching the rose, is reminder of how life is precious, a haunting, precious image.
