Aretha Franklin: Little People, Big Dreams - Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara  - Frances Lincoln Publishers

Aretha Franklin 'The Queen of Soul', was the first woman to be included into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was twice voted Greatest Singer of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. She was also an important activist for civil rights and women's rights. Aretha Franklin grew up in a family of musicians, singing with her heart and soul in her father's gospel choir. She went on to bring that feeling to her own music, creating some of history's best loved songs that still spark hope in listeners today.
