Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children who sang it to their children and grandchildren. Known as the Black National Anthem, it has been sung during major moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by this song's enduring significance, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who gained hope and strength from the song's inspiring words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e--A CCBC Choice \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--An ALSC Notable Children's Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Starling Lyons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525516093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525516095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Paulsen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e507682 \/ Sing a Song: How \"Lift Every Voice and Sing\" Inspired Generations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Kelly Starling Lyons","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053681668351,"sku":"9780525516095","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20b1e6a1-0fd1-4cc1-9efc-dc10e1d21810.jpg?v=1685025662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sing-a-song-kelly-starling-lyons-9780525516095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
