Sommaire:
This is an aesthetically pleasing biographical story. Captivating illustrations enhance the raw story of how Elvis overcame obstacles in his younger years starting back in 1935. Readers learn how persevering can reap personal benefits, and how his perseverance affected the segregated communities back in the days when Elvis started out. Elvis was a shy and only child living with his mother while his father was in jail. As Elvis grew, he started to make a difference in the lives of others by taking risks and by crossing boundaries. Influences from church music, school talent shows, and moving to Memphis were all contributing factors toward a music career. Elvis persevered with his passion for music and one day he took a leap by paying money to make a record at the Sun Records Studio. Elvis’s musical capabilities were finally discovered and the rest is history for this musical legend.--Litpicks review The author uses headings to state the time period throughout the book. In addition, a timeline and Author’s Note found in the back are valuable for reference.
