各界推薦

各界推薦 "A profile as bold and vivacious as the singer herself." —Kirkus (starred review)"Terrific for all collections that want to inspire the musically inclined and highlight innovative pioneers." —Booklist(starred review)"Bolden uses alliteration, assonance, repetition, and rhythm to create an irresistibly musical text that effectively communicates the feel of Tharpe's music. Christie's lively illustrations. . . capture the physicality of Tharpe's performance style and the intensity of her sound." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Impressive offering about an often-overlooked figure in American music." —The Horn Book (starred review)“The marriage of Bolden’s words and Christie’s pictures is almost as satisfying as Tharpe’s songs.” —New York Times Book Review
