Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

An illuminating picture book biography of renowned Mexican American folk musician Joan Baez, whose songs of justice, peace, and activism have inspired listeners to create positive change across the world, from Christopher Award&&&8211;winning author Monica Brown and Caldecott Honoree Molly Mendoza.
From a young age, Joan Baez knew she wanted to make the world a better place. The daughter of immigrants from Mexico and Scotland, she learned values of compassion and advocacy from her parents. As Joan learned about people in need around the world, she sang to make herself feel better&&&8212;and her beautiful voice made others feel better, too.
Joan sang songs about workers’ rights, civil rights, and the struggle for justice. She started in coffee shops and clubs, worked her way to singing at folk festivals and on New York stages, and eventually she sang next to Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington, alongside C&&&233;sar Ch&&&225;vez, and for the President of the United States.
Joan realized music could move people’s hearts, minds, and feet toward a path of justice and peace. And she used the gift of her beautiful voice to do just that.
Examining the life of musician-activist Joan Baez, this biography follows Baez from childhood to adulthood and her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mendoza’s vibrant and dynamic illustrations bring to life the events described, including a childhood move to Iraq and an adult Baez’s participation in the Civil Rights Movement and anti–Vietnam War protests. This book would pair well with units examining any of the causes Baez championed. Back matter includes a short list of sources and an author’s note expanding on the trajectory of Baez’s life. A solid offering for elementary readers, who might be inspired by Baez to use their own voices and find causes they care about.
