Summary: "Having lost her mother at a young age, Ella Fitzgerald struggled as a child, especially during the Great Depression.

Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Ella Fitzgerald's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into their curriculum." --
