Nina : a story of Nina Simone / words by Traci N. Todd ; pictures by Christian Robinson.
Nina Simone was an icon. Her music was the backdrop for a freedom movement. But before she was Nina Simone, she was Eunice Kathleen Waymon, a prodigy who sang before she could walk and learned to play the piano on her father's knee. But when doors were closed on her because of the color of her skin, she quickly discovered her talent might not be enough to succeed. Nina tucked away the hurt and persevered, finding a way to perform despite the obstacles, and with a voice like soft thunder, she triumphed. But as Nina's career soared, her people were hurting, marching for their very lives. Nina soon joined them, now raising her thunderous voice in powerful protest in the fight against racial inequality and discrimination. She demanded justice. Her voice echoed throughout the nation, changing hearts and minds.
