"How did Lin-Manuel Miranda, the sweet, sensitive son of Puerto Rican parents from an immigrant neighborhood in Manhattan, rise to become the preeminent musical storyteller of the 21st century? *Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist* is his incredible story as never told before, tracing Miranda’s path from an often isolated child to the winner of multiple Tonys and Grammys for his Broadway hits *Hamilton* and *In the Heights;* a global chart-topping sensation for his songs in Disney’s *Moana* and *Encanto;* and the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur Genius Grant.  
  
Miranda’s journey is a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and cultural synthesis. He was not a musical prodigy, but an insatiable drive to create art and learn from those around him propelled him to fuse his Latino heritage with pop, hip-hop, and the musical styles of Broadway. His was a new way of telling American stories, and of speaking to new audiences."
