Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A picture book biography that will inspire readers to dance to their own beats!
Singer, dancer, actress, and independent dame, Josephine Baker felt life was a performance. She lived by her own rules and helped to shake up the status quo with wild costumes and a you-canât-tell-me-no attitude that made her famous. She even had a pet leopard in Paris!
From bestselling childrenâs biographer Jonah Winter and two-time Caldecott Honoree Marjorie Priceman comes a story of a woman the stage could barely contain. Rising from a poor, segregated upbringing, Josephine Baker was able to break through racial barriers with her own sense of flair and astonishing dance abilities. She was a pillar of steel with a heart of goldâall wrapped up in feathers, sequins, and an infectious rhythm.
