Faith Tsou: The Blues Singers

Julia Lester's illustrated book The Blues Singers: Ten Who Rocked the World is an inspiration to many young musicians, especially to those from the black community. Artists listed in this book range from Bessie Smith to Aretha Franklin, and each biography is filled with information written in a story-telling form. Lester writes about these famous blues artists from the perspective of her grandfather "passing on a legacy to a younger generation."This is a great book for young kids, who are looking for inspiration drawn from history.
