She Sang for India - by Suma Subramaniam (Hardcover)

M.S.

Subbulakshmi's incredible journey from a young girl with a prodigious voice to a renowned Indian singer who advocated for justice and peace through song is captured in this stunning picture book biography.

Suma Subramaniam's vivid storytelling brings to life the barriers that Subbulakshmi faced as a young girl, including the fact that girls were not allowed to perform for the public in early 1900s India.

But Subbulakshmi refused to be silenced, and her determination and passion for music eventually led her to record her first album and sing at Gandhi's request for India's freedom.

Shreya Gupta's beautiful illustrations bring the story to life, capturing the spirit of a woman who changed the world through the power of song.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about the incredible life and legacy of M.S.
