Synopsis "Nina: Jazz Legend and Civil-Rights Activist Nina Simone"
With evocative black-and-white illustrations and moving prose, readers are introduced to jazz-music legend and civil-rights activist Nina Simone. A stunning picture-book biography of the High Priestess of Soul and one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. Shared as a lullaby to her daughter, a soulful song recounts Simone's career, the trials she faced as an African American woman, and the stand she took during the Civil Rights Movement. This poignant picture book offers a melodic tale that is both a historic account of an iconic figure and an extraordinary look at how far we've come and how far we still need to go for social justice and equality. A timeless and timely message aptly appropriate for today's social and political climates. ♦ A good introduction to Simone's life, from her early love of music to her rise to the status of legend --Kirkus Reviews, starred review ♦ Strikingly illustrated --Booklist, starred review ♦ Hauntingly beautiful illustrations --Foreword Reviews, starred review Stirring and powerful. . . --BookPage
