Beschreibung
This illuminating and defining picture book biography illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Christian Robinson, tells the story of little Eunice who grew up to become the acclaimed singer Nina Simone and her bold, defiant, and exultant legacy.
Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in small town North Carolina, Nina Simone was a musical child. She sang before she talked and learned to play piano at a very young age. With the support of her family and community, she received music lessons that introduced her to classical composers like Bach who remained with her and influenced her music throughout her life. She loved the way his music began softly and then tumbled to thunder, like her mother's preaching, and in much the same way as her career. During her first performances under the name of Nina Simone her voice was rich and sweet but as the Civil Rights Movement gained steam, Nina's voice soon became a thunderous roar as she raised her voice in powerful protest in the fight against racial inequality and discrimination.

Zusammenfassung
DREAM TEAM: Traci's passion for Nina's story and her legacy is apparent in her powerfully lyrical and affecting prose and when combined with Christian's soulful artwork, you have a picture book event.
FIRST BIOGRAPHY: Stunningly, there is not a picture book biography already on Nina Simone outside of a French import published in 2017. Our book will be the first American picture book to market that tells the story of the one and only Nina Simone.
STIRRING AND TIMELY MESSAGE: Nina's voice was a rallying call in the Civil Rights Movement and her songs of protest and strength offer an important message for children. We see this picture book fitting in perfectly with lesson plans about activism, the Civil Rights Movement, and the protests of today as it inspires kids to activism through music and art.
AWARD WINNING ART: Christian Robinson's award-winning and iconic style pairs perfectly with Traci's gorgeous, unforgettable text. They make a powerhouse duo and we expect big things for this picture book as it presents another opportunity for an award-winning bestseller from a beloved picture book illustrator.
