A fully illustrated middle-grade anthology celebrating Black women
singers throughout history in a first-of-its-kind collection.
Winner of the 2022 JJA Jazz Awards for Book of Year about Jazz
From jazz and blues, hip hop and R&B, pop, punk, and opera, Black women
have made major contributions to the history and formation of musical
genres for more than a century. In this fully illustrated middle grade
anthology, 50 strong, empowering, and inspiring Black women singers'
bios will teach kids to follow their dreams, to think outside the box,
and to push the boundaries of what's expected. Written by music writer
and journalist Jordannah Elizabeth and illustrated by Briana Dengoue,
She Raised Her Voice! will inspire readers to find their voice and
their own way of expressing themselves.
