Legendary singer and Civil Rights activist Mavis Staples has teamed with an award-winning childrens poet to share her rousing life story in this spectacular picture book.At 85, Mavis Staples is still singing in front of large audiences and sharing her message of love, faith, and justice. Shes been performing since age eight as part of her familys gospel group The Staple Singers, and has become one of Americas most admired musicians, with multiple Grammys, a Kennedy Center Honor, and a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But Mavis has been more than a thrilling singer; she has also stood alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., at numerous Civil Rights protests where her voice was a rallying cry to the country. Now she and acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford bring her story and her inspiring message to young people in this poetic, illuminating book, beautifully illustrated by Steffi Walthall.
