Elisabeth Cotten was only a little girl when she picked up a guitar
for the first time. It wasn’t hers—it was her big
brother’s—and it wasn’t strung right—she was left-handed.
But she flipped that guitar upside down and backwards and taught
herself how to play it anyway. By eleven, she’d written
“Freight Train,” one of the most famous folk songs. And by the
end of her life, everyone from the California beaches to the
rolling hills of England knew her music. This lyrical, loving book
from acclaimed singer-songwriter Laura Veirs and debut illustrator
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh tells the story of the determined, gifted,
daring Elisabeth Cotten—one of the most celebrated American folk
musicians of all time.|Elisabeth Cotten was only a little girl when
