Reich, Susanna Stand Up and Sing: Pete Seeger, illustrated
by Adam Gustavson. PICTURE BOOK.
NON-FICTION. Bloomsbury, 2017. $18.
Pete Seeger was born in 1919, lived through two world wars,
sang during the Civil Rights Movement, and greeted Barack Obama when he became
the President of the United States.
Through all of his life, he was compelled to follow the music and use it
to express his hopes, his dreams, and his disappointments in the injustices all
around him.
Reich’s biographical sketch and Gustavson’s beautiful
illustrations weave together a look at an important folk singer and shows the
power of music to move people. A great book for a music class, a history class,
or as a biography source.
