Born in New York City on May 3, 1919, Pete came from a family of musicians. Despite writing and singing folk songs that all of America knows, not many kids know his name. Why? Because his ties to the Communist Party got him banned from radio and television for many years! Well-known for his civil rights activism with Martin Luther King Jr., Seeger also spearheaded efforts that cleaned up the Hudson River and made it beautiful again. His best-known songs include \"Where Have All the Flowers Gone?\", \"If I Had a Hammer\" and \"Turn, Turn, Turn.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this easy-to-read biography from the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e best-selling series, Pete Seeger is revealed as not just a performer but as a champion for a better world and the eighty illustrations contained in the book help bring his story to life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoel MacCarry worked as an elementary school librarian in North Salem, New York, for twenty-seven years.
