Ella Fitzgerald: The Tale of a Vocal Virtuosa
Accompanied by beautiful illustrations, and narrated by a well-dressed feline, we follow Ella from child to lady of the stage in this fabulous upbeat tale that lets the spirit of Ella Fitzgerald shine brightly.
Ella Fitzgerald began her life as a singer on the stage of the Apollo Theater when she was just seventeen-years-old. Her rich voice and vocal innovations brought her fame and a remarkable career that spanned half a century and won her generations of fans around the world.
Acclaimed author Andrea Davis Pinkney has told Ella's inspiring story in the voice of Scat Cat Monroe, a feline fan whose imagined narrative sings with the infectious rhythms of scat. Two-time Caldecott Honor-winner Brian Pinkney's dramatic perspectives and fantastical images offer a jazzy improvisation all their own.
