A harmonious introduction to one of our country's most important singers—Marian Anderson. whose historic concert drew an integrated crowd of 75,000 people in pre-Civil Rights America.
by Pam Munoz Ryan, illustrated by Brian Selznick
"Linguistically and aesthetically . . . a marvel of unified design. A trip to the Metropolitan Opera inspires young Anderson to strive for the dream she obtains by the end of the book." —School Library Journa,l starred review
"Simply stated prose . . . acquaints young readers, who may be disbelieving, with a time of social injustice when a person of color could not pursue a professional career in concert music and it was an act of personal courage to sing before racially mixed audiences." —Kirkus, starred review
