Summary:
A stirring picture book biography from award-winning duo Carole Boston Weatherford and Bryan Collier, about
gospel
composer and preacher
Charles
Albert
Tindley
, best known for the
gospel
hymn “We’ll Understand It Better By and By.” At a time when most African Americans were still enslaved,
Charles
Tindley
was born free. His childhood was far from easy, with backbreaking hours in the fields, and no opportunity to go to school. But the spirituals he heard as he worked made him long to know how to read the
Gospel
for himself. Late at night, he taught himself to read from scraps of newspapers. From those small scraps, young
Charles
raised himself to become a founding
father
of American
gospel
music
whose hymn was the basis for the Civil Rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.” Told in lilting verse with snippets of spirituals and Tindley’s own hymns woven throughout, Carole Boston Weatherford’s lyrical words and Bryan Collier’s luminous pictures celebrate a man whose
music
and conviction has inspired countless lives.
Genre:
Biography, Juvenile.
Other authors:
Collier, Bryan.
