Strange Fruit

This picture book for older readers tells the story of how the racism protest song "Strange Fruit" came into being in 1939. This is also the story of two outsiders — Billie Holiday, a young black woman raised in poverty, and Abel Meeropol, the son of Jewish immigrants — whose combined talents created a truly unforgettable song.
