Nina : a story of Nina Simone / words by Traci N. Todd ; pictures by Christian Robinson.
Nina Simone was an icon. Her music was the backdrop for a freedom movement. But before she was Nina Simone, she was Eunice Kathleen Waymon, a prodigy who sang before she could walk and learned to play the piano o on her father's knee.. But when doors were closed to her because of the color of her skin, she quickly discovered her talent might not be enough to succeed. Nina tucked away the hurt and persevered, finding a way to perform despite the obstacles, and with t a voice like soft thunder, she triumphed. But as Nina's career soared, her people were hurting, marching for their very lives. Nina soon joined them, now raising her thunderous voice in powerful protest in the fight against racial inequality and discrimination. She demanded justice. Her voice echoed throughout the nation, changing hearts and minds. Beautifully and lyrically told by debut author Traci N. Todd and brought to stunning and glorious life by Caldecott honoree Christian Robinson, Nina is the stirring and victorious story of little Eunice, who grew up to become the acclaimed singer Nina Simone, and her bold, defiant, and exultant legacy that remains a call to action and a call for hope today. -- From dust jacket.
