Abstract A poem tribute to blind musician and composer Stevie Wonder. Eleven-year-old Stevland Judkins Morris Hardaway hit the big time when he signed a Motown recording contract. At the age of thirteen, Little Stevie Wonder had millions of fans dancing to the number-one song in the nation. Little Stevie Wonder is the true story of a boy who lost his sight shortly after birth, grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and became one of the twentieth century's most creative and influential musicians-an instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, musical innovator, and cultural activist. Here in Quincy Troupe's joyful poem and Lisa Cohen's vibrant art is an uplifting celebration of life, peace, and music. Annotation. The life of one of the 20th century's most creative and influential musicians is celebrated through a joyful poem, vibrant art, and a CD containing two of Stevie Wonder's classic hits, "Fingertips, Pt. 2" and "Uptight (Everything's Alright)." Full color.
