{"product_id":"a-voice-named-aretha","title":"A Voice Named Aretha","description":"From acclaimed author and illustrator pairing comes a beautiful picture book biography about the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and how she fought for respect throughout her life.\n\nAretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, a legend. But before she became a star, she was a shy little girl with a voice so powerful it made people jump up, sway, and hum along.\n\nRaised in a house full of talking and singing, Aretha learned the values that would carry her through life--from her church choir in Detroit to stages across the world. When she moved to New York City to start her career, it took years of hard work before she had a hit song. In the turbulent 1960s, she sang about \"Respect\" and refused to perform before segregated audiences. The first woman inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame, Aretha always remembered who she was and where she came from.\n\nIn this stirring biography of a true artistic and social icon, award-winning creators Katheryn Russell-Brown and Laura Freeman show young readers how Aretha's talent, intelligence, and perseverance made her a star who will shine on for generations to come.\n\nAcclaim for Little Melba and Her Big Trombone\n2015 NAACP Image Award Nominee Outstanding Literary Work--Children\n2015 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Honor\n2015 ALA Notable Children's Book\n2015 Amelia Bloomer Project - Feminist Task Force\n2015 Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction, Recommended Title\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1681198509\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1681198509.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Russell-Brown, Katheryn|Freeman, Laura\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
