Weatherford, C. B. (2008). Becoming Billie Holiday. Honesdale , PA
Comprised of poems, Becoming Billie Holiday is a memoir of the character by the same name. Through the poems we learn of this character from the beginning of life through her young adulthood. She endured many misfortunes growing up. Including many different topics in these poems, the reader gets a better feel for the character before her early death. I really enjoyed the story this book told through its poems. It was both emotional and powerful.
