This is a very nicely illustrated picture book on the life of Frank Sinatra, starting with his youth in Hoboken, New Jersey. The story chronicles Frankie’s love of singing: at school, at work, everywhere. The story continues with Frankie’s move to New York City to study voice, his first appearance in concert, and his records being played on the radio. Moving on into his film career, singing and dancing on the big screen, and moving on to his international tours, Las Vegas tours, and awards, the reader gets a rosy view of Frank Sinatra, focusing on his talent and hard work, and omitting any mention of organized crime, womanizing, drinking, smoking, or any other vices.
The book includes an Author’s Note and Bibliography.
