RESPECT by Carole Boston Weatherford
A vibrant portrait of Aretha Franklin that pays her the R-E-S-P-E-C-T this Queen of Soul deserves.
* “The interplay between the deceptively simple narrative and Morrison’s illustrations is pitch-perfectThis beautiful picture book biography packs an emotional punch that is as compelling as the timeless songs that Franklin made famous.” -- School Library Journal, STARRED Review
* "The award-winning author-illustrator team of Weatherford and Morrison have taken on the life story of the Queen of Soul, and the result is a beautiful work of art." -- Booklist, STARRED review
“Weatherford presents an overview of key moments in the notable singer’s life, particularly her contributions to the civil rights movement. Morrison’s rich illustrations use a stylized realism to depict Franklin’s trajectory from preacher’s daughter to beloved icon.” -- Publishers Weekly
