Other title William Grant Still biography for children and young adults
Abstract A true story of the boyhood years and adult achievements of William Grant Still, one of the most important composers of the twentieth century. It is the story of a boy who grew up in Arkansas, and, through strict parental discipline, early musical influences and experiences, and a healthy remembrance of the sights and sounds of his childhood home of Little Rock, would later become recognized as the "Dean of Afro-American composers." Like the boy named David who healed the biblical King Saul with his music, William Grant Still sought to heal, inspire, and promote the spirit of interracial understandings with his compositions.
