Reviews"Schubert and Colón ably demonstrate one of their book's final assertions: "there really was nobody like Pete Seeger."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review "In this biographical tribute to Pete Seeger, Schubert and acclaimed illustrator Colón combine their talents to bring Seeger's legacy of music and social justice activism to contemporary young readers. Seeger's connection to the public is evident in repeated depictions of him among crowds of listeners, antiwar protesters, singing children, and the millions at the Lincoln Memorial rally."--Booklist "An inspiring and heartfelt tribute to, as Schubert calls him, a "true American hero."--Horn Book, "Schubert and Coln ably demonstrate one of their book's final assertions: "there really was nobody like Pete Seeger."--Kirkus reviews, starred review, "Schubert and Coln ably demonstrate one of their book's final assertions: "there really was nobody like Pete Seeger."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review "In this biographical tribute to Pete Seeger, Schubert and acclaimed illustrator Coln combine their talents to bring Seeger's legacy of music and social justice activism to contemporary young readers.

SynopsisListen. There was nobody like Pete Seeger. Wherever he went, he got people singing. With his head thrown back and his Adam's apple bouncing, picking his long-necked banjo or strumming his twelve-string guitar, Pete sang old songs, new songs, new words to old songs, and songs he made up. In this gorgeously written and illustrated tribute to legendary musician and activist Pete Seeger, author Leda Schubert highlights major musical events in Mr. Seeger's life as well important moments of his fight against social injustice. From singing sold-out concerts to courageously standing against the McCarthy-era finger-pointing, Pete Seeger's life is celebrated in this bold book for young readers with gorgeous illustrations by Raúl Colón.
