When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson by Pam Ryan

When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson by Pam Ryan

Children's Literature Legacy Award Winner

A harmonious introduction to one of our country's most important singers and role models--as envisioned by Newbery Honoree Pam Muñoz Ryan and Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick.

Marian Anderson is best known for her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939, which drew an integrated crowd of 75,000 people in pre-Civil Rights America. While this momentous event showcased the uniqueness of her voice, the strength of her character, and the struggles of the times in which she lived, it is only part of her story. Like the operatic arias Marian would come to sing, Ryan's text is as moving as a libretto, and Selznick's pictures as exquisitely detailed and elaborately designed as a stage set. What emerges most profoundly from their shared vision is a role model of courage.

Pam Muoz Ryan is the author of Echo, a New York Times Best Seller, a Newbery Honor Novel from 2016, and the Kirkus Award winner. She has authored over forty novels for children and has received numerous awards, including the National Endowment for the Arts' Human and Civil Rights Prize, the Virginia Hamilton Literary Award, the Willa Cather Award, the Pura Belpré Medal, and the PEN USA Award. Esperanza Rising, Riding Freedom, Becoming Naomi León, Paint the Wind, and The Dreamer are some of her novels.
