When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson by Brian Selznick, Pam Muñoz Ryan

5.0

This is a fantastic picture book biography for older readers. Ryan and Selznick did a lot of research about Marian Anderson and her heyday and it really shows. The illustrations and text are a perfect combination of beautiful art and highlights of Anderson's life. I particularly enjoyed the lines of spirituals throughout; I'll have to track down some of her recordings. The author and illustrator notes at the end are particularly good.
