THE SCINTILLATING, INSPIRING LIFE OF AN<br />

AFRICAN AMERICAN ICON<br />

Josephine<br />

The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker<br />

By Patricia Hruby Powell • Illustrated by Christian Robinson<br />

In exuberant verse and stirring pictures, Patricia Hruby Powell and<br />

Christian Robinson create an extraordinary portrait of the passionate<br />

performer and civil rights advocate Josephine Baker, the woman who<br />

worked her way from the slums of St. Louis to the grandest stages in the<br />

world. Meticulously researched by both author and artist, Josephine’s<br />

powerful story of struggle and triumph is an inspiration and a spectacle,<br />

just like the legend herself.<br />

Patricia Hruby Powell danced throughout the Americas and Europe with her dance company, One<br />

Plus One, before becoming a writer of children’s books. She lives in Champaign, Illinois.<br />

Christian Robinson, formerly at Pixar Studios and Sesame Street Workshop, lives in San Francisco.<br />

This is his first book.<br />
