Mahalia Jackson: Walking with Kings and Queens by Nina Nolan

3.0

Beautiful picture book about the gospel singer from New Orleans, with gorgeous paintings in deep purples and yellows. As a child, her aunt told her someday she would walk with kings and queens; she grew up to sing at the March on Washington next to Martin Luther King Jr, as well as at Carnegie Hall. I liked the little detail that after visiting a nightclub, when her grandfather had a heart attack she prayed that if he recovered she'd never go in a nightclub ever again. And he did, and she didn't!
