Book Reviews of Queen Latifah (Biography (Lerner Hardcover))
Book Review: All Hail the Queen
Summary: 5 Stars
This biography for young adults takes at look at the life of Queen Latifah, the "First Lady of Hip-Hop" who also happens to be an actor, business woman, and role model. The book is easy to read and covers a lot of details about her life: why she adopted the Muslim name "Latifah" (because she says "it accurately described who she was on the inside"); some key defining moments in her life (when her parents got divorced and when her older brother Lancelot Jr., "Winki", died from a motorcycle accident); and how Latifah distinguished herself from other rappers who glorify violence and put down women by promoting positive messages in her lyrics, such as dignity, self-respect, strength, and pride. Overall, a classy book about a classy lady.
