Josephine: The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker

In exuberant verse and stirring pictures, Patricia Hruby Powell and Christian Robinson create an extraordinary portrait of the passionate performer and civil rights advocate Josephine Baker, the woman who worked her way from the slums of St. Louis to the grandest stages in the world. Meticulously researched by both author and artist, Josephine's powerful story of struggle and triumph is an inspiration and a spectacle, just like the legend herself.Josephine is the winner of a Boston Globe Horn Book Nonfiction Honor 2014; International Bologna Ragazzi Nonfiction Honor 2014; Parents Choice Gold for Poetry 2014; Robert F.Sibert Honor 2015; Coretta Scott King Illustration Honor 2015.
