Reviews

"Schubert and Colón ably demonstrate one of their book's final assertions: "there really was nobody like Pete Seeger."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"In this biographical tribute to Pete Seeger, Schubert and acclaimed illustrator Colón combine their talents to bring Seeger's legacy of music and social justice activism to contemporary young readers. Seeger's connection to the public is evident in repeated depictions of him among crowds of listeners, antiwar protesters, singing children, and the millions at the Lincoln Memorial rally."--Booklist

"An inspiring and heartfelt tribute to, as Schubert calls him, a "true American hero."--Horn Book
