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.
