Childrens | Non-Fiction Biography
Put on your blue suede shoes and get ready for the latest
title in the Who Was…? series! The King could not have come
from humbler origins: Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, during
the Depression, he grew up with the blues music of the rural
South, the gospel music of local churches, and the
country-western classics. But he forged a sound all his
own—and a look that was all his own, too. With curled lip,
swiveling hips, and greased pompadour, Elvis changed popular
music forever, ushering in the age of rock and roll. Geoff
Edgers’s fascinating biography of this icon of American pop
culture includes blackand- white illustrations on nearly
every spread.
