blackchildrensbooksandauthors: ✨NEW September Picture Book✨ Nina: A Story of Nina SimoneTraci ToddChristian RobinsonG.P. Putnam’s Sons BYRBorn Eunice Kathleen Waymon in small town North Carolina, Nina Simone was a musical child. She sang before she talked and learned to play piano at a very young age. With the support of her family and community, she received music lessons that introduced her to classical composers like Bach who remained with her and influenced her music throughout her life. She loved the way his music began softly and then tumbled to thunder, like her mother’s preaching, and in much the same way as her career. During her first performances under the name of Nina Simone her voice was rich and sweet but as the Civil Rights Movement gained steam, Nina’s voice soon became a thunderous roar as she raised her voice in powerful protest in the fight against racial inequality and discrimination.Available Now| Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBoundGo HERE for more September new releases by Black authors.FollowSubscribe: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | NewsletterIf you believe BCBA provides a valuable service, please take a few minutes to donate here or via Cash App ($BCBooksA) and support our mission to promote awareness of children’s and young adult literature by Black authors.
