Description
It's 1937, and Marian Anderson is one of the most famous singers in America. But after she gives a performance for an all-white audience, she learns that the nearby hotel is closed to African Americans. She doesn't know where she'll stay for the night.
Until the famous scientist Albert Einstein invites her to stay at his house. Marian, who endures constant discrimination as a Black performer, learns that Albert faced prejudice as a Jew in Germany. She discovers their shared passion for music--and their shared hopes for a more just world.

About the Author
Lisa Rose writes children's books, including the award-winning picture book, The Singer and the Scientist. Lisa is only five feet tall, so, the saguaro cactus looks very majestic to her. She lives near Detroit, Michigan where most of the time it is too cold for saguaros. But it is not cold for her dog, two cats, one fish, and three hermit crabs. Lisa loves to swim, practice yoga, and eat ice cream, just not at the same time.
Isabel studied Fine Arts at the University Complutense of Madrid, Spain. Painting for a living was her dream, and now she's proud to be the illustrator of several children books. She works from a tiny and colorful studio in northern Spain.
