Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Winner of both the Coretta Scott King Author Award and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award, Ray Charles by Sharon Bell Mathis, illus. by George Ford, originally published in 1973, traces the star's surmounting of incredible obstacles to become one of the world's greatest jazz musicians. Ford's illustrations capture every emotional nuance, from Ray's disappointment at being tricked by classmates as a child, to his strength as a man, refusing to perform to segregated audiences.

It is a picture book; an important title, Nov 22 2008
By Denise I. Matulka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ray Charles (Hardcover)
The winner of the first Coretta Scott King Award for illustration, making it an important title in the history of children's literature. Perhaps the customer who gave it one star did not expect a picture and thus gave it a low rating.

Childrens book, April 4 2008
By forrest c posey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ray Charles (Hardcover)
This is nothing more than a childrens little hard back book with 34 pages of reading !It took me approx. 5 min. to "read " it !
Mostly " drawn " illistrations!
Would've been a lot better to have gone on the net & read his " biography " for free.
Don't even bother with this one.
Listmania!
