A stirring look at the early life of Johnny Cash, from his harsh but music-filled childhood to the first flush of stardom.There’s never been anyone like music legend Johnny Cash. His deep voice is instantly recognizable, and his heartfelt songs resonate with listeners of all ages and backgrounds. G. Neri captures Johnny’s story in beautiful free verse, portraying an ordinary boy with an extraordinary talent who grew up in extreme poverty, faced incredible challenges, and ultimately found his calling by always being true to the gift of his voice. A. G. Ford’s luscious paintings of the dramatic southern landscape of Johnny Cash’s childhood illuminate this portrait of a legend, taking us from his humble beginnings to his enormous success on the world stage.

Rooted in Cash's own recollections, free verse aptly captures for young readers the grit, soul, and spirit of the Man in Black. Extensive back matter gives context and guidance for further exploration. Illos by A.G. Ford are rich and evocative. Well done.

thank you! exactly what I needed to do a middle childhood psychology paper on. very nice book. illustrations are wonderful. glad I bought this book because I actually liked it. considering I only needed it for a book report.

This is a cool kids biography of the Man in Black. My little guy is obsessed and he was very excited for this book. It is geared towards older children and there is quite a bit of narrative. I ended up reading the book myself and then paraphrasing for my little one. He was quite content.
