(3) K-3 Classical Composers series. Illustrated by Marilena Perilli. This engaging biography introduces young readers to Florence Price, a pioneering Black woman composer who blended classical music with spirituals. It traces her journey from a gifted childhood in Arkansas to historic achievements and a rediscovery of her work decades later. Earth-toned digital illustrations and archival photos enrich the story, while informative sidebars offer extra insights. A robust set of back matter -- a timeline, glossary, index, and resources -- encourages further exploration of Price’s remarkable legacy.
