"Before there was Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash, there was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The Godmother of Rock & Roll started as a little girl from Arkansas with music in her air, in her hair, in her bones, wiggling her toes. With a big guitar in hand and a big voice in her soul, she grew into a Rock & Roll trailblazer in a time when women were rarely seen rocking out. Boogie along with this tribute to Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sister Rosetta Tharpe by Coretta Scott King Honor Book-winning author Tonya Bolden and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator R. Gregory Christie."--Book dust jacket flap.
