Adding a personal touch as a fellow Argentinean, Melisa Fernández Nitsche fills her debut picture book with bright and breathtaking illustrations that will surely inspire and empower young readers as they read about the impact one person\'s voice can have..
Even from exile, Mercedes Sosa was a beacon of freedom for her people, and when she returned to her homeland, she persisted in her work: to be the voice of the voiceless.
But not everyone loved her singing: a military dictatorship ruled over Argentina, and they saw the power of her voice.
From a folk festival to Carnegie Hall and the Sistine Chapel, Mercedes performed the world over, sharing stories through song.
As a teen, she won a local radio contest, and as her confidence grew, so did her fame.
Mercedes Sosa sang about what it means to be human, and her songs of struggle always spoke the truth of the injustice that so many workers and families in Latin America faced.
The folk rhythm of the bombo drum beats like a heart, with a resonant voice singing the truth of her people.
What if a voice became a symbol of justice? I\'m here to offer my heart, said that voice.
