Summary: A Voice of the People.....
Comment: Bonnie Christensen celebrates the life of Woody Guthrie, a true American original. From his meager beginnings in Okemah, Oklahoma, he grew up during hard times, surviving tragedies and hardships, often with only his music for comfort. While still a teenager, he took to the road, crisscrossing the country and listening to the plight of farmers, the homeless, migrant workers and others left in desperate circumstances by the Great Depression. He soon became the voice of the people, using his songs to bring America together, and to speak out for justice, equality and peace. He was an inspiration to many, and a powerful voice for change. Ms Christensen's gentle and lyrical text, full of history and drama, is complemented by her quiet, yet powerful and evocative illustrations. Together word and art create a moving biography that introduces Woody and his music to a whole new generation of fans. Perfect for youngsters 8-12, Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People includes the lyrics to several of his best know songs, and a chronology of important events at the end to augment discussions and send kids out to their library, bookstore, or on-line retailer, looking for more about this amazing American.
