(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Following a foreword by singer Peter Yarrow, this biography of troubadour Seeger packs a storied life into relatively few pages but doesn't skimp on the essentials. Reich adeptly tailors tough concepts (e.g., the Great Depression; blacklisting) for young readers. Gustavson's dignified art makes young Pete look like Everykid, underscoring the book's message: you're never too young to make music--or a difference. Bib.
