Meet Josephine Baker, the world-famous entertainer, activist, and French Resistance agent in this true story of her life.
This inspiring and informative biography follows the incredible life of Josephine, from growing up in St Louis, Missouri, during segregation to defying expectations and performing on the stage in Paris, where audiences fell in love with her.
She was born for the stage. But growing up in segregated St. Louis, she didn't have the same opportunities as white entertainers. So, she moved to Paris where audiences fell in love with her. Josephine worked as a dancer, an actor, and even a spy. She then spent the rest of her life spreading the word that people of all colours can live together in harmony.
This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the entertainer's amazing life.
