Description

This inspiring historical picture book based on the childhood of Lucy Tolliver, the mother of Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, and written by her siblings, Sally-Ann Roberts and Lawrence Roberts, tells of the uplifting power that music has in keeping hope alive, even in times of strife.

"A sweet snapshot of an inspiring girl who finds hope in song." --Kirkus Reviews

Life is filled with ups and downs.

No matter what, keep a song in your heart.

Keep singing.

For Lucimarian "Lucy" Tolliver, life on Lucy Street was nothing but a joyful dream. She spent her days happily playing in the neighborhood with her best friend, Wanda, and her grandpa's wise words and warm embrace were only a few blocks away. However, when financial misfortune strikes Lucy and her family during the Depression, she struggles to hold on to the optimism that's always kept her spirit lifted. But can one night--and one song--remind her that the light can continue to shine even in the darkest of times?

From Sally-Ann Roberts and Lawrence Roberts comes a heartwarming and moving tale based on their mother's childhood, about the uplifting power that music has with keeping hope alive in times of extreme strife, featuring an epilogue from Good Morning America's Robin Roberts.
