The Little Piano Girl: The Story of Mary Lou Williams, Jazz Legend
(3)
K-3
Illustrated by
Giselle Potter.
When her family moves to Pittsburgh, seven-year-old Mary must leave behind her beloved organ and cope with the "bad sounds"--unkind words and actions--in her new neighborhood. Invited to play piano again, Mary soon earns citywide recognition for her talent. Illustrated with Potter's vivid gouache paintings, the exuberant narration is based on the life of the African American jazz pianist.
