In exuberant verse and stirring pictures, Patricia Hruby Powell and Christian Robinson create an extraordinary portrait for young people 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.

THE BEGINNING

SAINT LOUIS, Missouri—
home of barrelhouses,
nickel shots of whisky,
and gambling halls—
home of
RAGTIME MUSIC—
raggedy black music—
gotta-make-the-rent music—

- (3/5)Josephine's life is presented for children in stage acts and in a lively prose. She was definitely a strong-willed person who didn't let naysayers get her down. I was unaware of her "rainbow tribe" of children...very interesting. Children will need some background on civil rights and racial attitudes of the past to fully appreciate Josephine's determination to keep her eye on the prize.
- (4/5)Wonderfully told, vibrantly illustrated story of Baker's life.
- (5/5)Loved it! I'd never heard of Josephine Baker before and I missed out! This book made me want to go learn more about her incredible life. Fantastic illustrations and the text evoked a feeling of restlessness and dancing that matched Josephine's life perfectly. An easy, entertaining read. Recommended for all ages!
