Stevie Wonder (Overcoming Adversity)

Gr. 7-10. These volumes in the Overcoming Adversity series focus on the careers of Rowling and Wonder, using a combination of personal commentaries, anecdotes, and factual material to give a glimpse of their personalities. In the Rowling volume, for example, Rowling honestly recalls her shame and depression during her term on public assistance. In Stevie Wonder, Williams follows Wonder's life and career, which have been riddled with tragedy and pain, and taps Wonder's lyrics to explain how the musician uses his music to tell the story of his life [Tenley_Williams__James_Scott_Brady]_Stevie_Wonder_Bokos-Z1_
