<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A biography of jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A swinging bio of young Ella Fitzgerald, who pushed through the toughest of times to become one of America's most beloved jazz singers.</b><br><b><br></b>When Ella Fitzgerald danced the Lindy Hop on the streets of 1930s Yonkers, passersby said good-bye to their loose change. But for a girl who was orphaned and hungry, with raggedy clothes and often no place to spend the night, small change was not enough. One amateur night at Harlem's Apollo Theater, Ella made a discovery: the dancing beat in her feet could travel up and out of her mouth in a powerful song -- and the feeling of being listened to was like a salve to her heart. With lively prose, Roxane Orgill follows the gutsy Ella from school-girl days to a featured spot with Chick Webb's band and all the way to her number-one radio hit A-Tisket, A-Tasket. Jazzy mixed-media art by illustrator Sean Qualls brings the singer's indomitable spirit to life.<br>Back matter includes resources for further information, and an index.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Roxane Orgill</b> is an award-winning writer on music and the author of several biographies for young readers, including<i> Mahalia: A Life in Gospel Music</i> and <i>Footwork: The Story of Fred and Adele Astaire</i>. She is also the author of <i>Dream Lucky</i>, a book for adults about big-band jazz, race, and politics in the 1930s. She lives in New York City.<b><br><b><br></b>Sean Qualls</b> is the illustrator of many books for children, including <i>Dizzy</i>; <i>Before John Was a Jazz Giant: A Song of John Coltrane</i>; <i>The Poet Slave of Cuba: A Biography of Juan Francisco Monzano</i>; and <i>Phillis's Big Test</i>.
