Let Your Voice Be Heard: The Life and Times of Pete Seeger

This book is aimed at juveniles, but I found it not at all simplistic.
No one could rouse an audience to full-throated song like Pete Seeger, and few endured the burden of the McCarthy-era Blacklist with as much aplomb. A master of guitar and banjo, he became the father of the folk song revival in the '60s and a champion of human rights and environmental protection.The book is classified as Juvenile Literature. Although it is certainly not a complete biography of its subject, I would challenge any adult to identify a passage that is sketchy or condescending. It captures the essence of Pete Seeger very completely in its 104 pages. Photographs are well chosen, well presented, and well captioned. All quotations are cited in the endnotes. The Index is good, and there is a Bibliography. I found no grammatical or typographical errors. I consider it a first-rate effort.

Good biography.
Interesting biography about musician Pete Seeger. Had heard of him and Some of his songs but didn't know a lot about him. Great book to introduce him and his music to A new generation.

Pete Couldn't Keep From Singing
This short, simple, straightforward, yet spirited book about the "Old Folky", Pete Seeger, is suitable for both children and adults.As a longtime lover and singer of folk music, Pete was one of my idols, both as a singer and an activist. Pete was not afraid to take action in pursuit of justice; may his legacy continue through others, especially youth, who may be in spired by this book.
