When Marian Sang

by Pam Muñoz Ryan

When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson

Weaving together the verses that Marian sang with the text that poignantly describes her life and feelings, this inspiring readalong informs as it entertains. Although she was best known for her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939, where she sang in front of an integrated audience of 75,000, her struggles up to that point were profound. Children will relate to the confusion and frustration that young Marian experienced, and will appreciate the quite drama of this gifted, determined woman’s story.
