Price, Leontyne

Illustrated by
Raúl Colón.
Born in 1927 Mississippi, opera singer Leontyne Price sang in the church choir, went to college, then Juilliard, then Broadway; later she "became the first black singer to star at La Scala." Lyrical prose touches on the prejudice Price faced but emphasizes her voice and her accomplishments. Watercolor, colored-pencil, and lithograph-crayon art depicts musical notes as splashes of vibrant colors bursting across the pages.
