(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Cohen. Framed as a conversation with the author's granddaughter, this book affectionately and elegantly presents the contributions of Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Mahalia Jackson, Muddy Waters, Billie Holiday, B. B. King, Ray Charles, Little Richard, James Brown, and Aretha Franklin, all influenced by the blues if not strictly classifiable in that genre. Stylized portraits in bold colors illustrate the book.
