Description
A Voice Named Aretha brings the life of Aretha Franklin to vivid, child-friendly focus, tracing her journey from a shy girl with an astonishing gift to the Queen of Soul who reshaped music and culture. Through key moments—from church choir beginnings in Detroit to the long road of building a career in New York and the powerful stand she took during the turbulent 1960s—readers see how her talent grew alongside courage, discipline, and conviction. This picture-book biography highlights themes of self-belief, artistic perseverance, and the fight for dignity and respect, showing how one voice can challenge injustice and inspire generations. With the acclaimed storytelling and illustration style of Katheryn Russell-Brown and Laura Freeman, the book blends lyrical energy with accessible history, making Aretha’s legacy feel both personal and unforgettable.
