Muddy: The Story of Blues Legend Muddy Waters

This picture-book biography follows Muddy Waters from his childhood in the Mississippi Delta, marked by poverty and racism, to his career as a blues musician in Chicago. Music and his grandmother, Della, are central to his early life. After leaving sharecropping, he moves north to make music, resists pressure to change his sound, and brings Delta blues to the city. A producer eventually records his music in his own style.
