Mister and Lady Day: Billie Holiday and the Dog Who Loved Her

32 pp. | Harcourt | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-15-205806-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton. This starter biography of singer (and dog lover) Billie Holiday spotlights her relationship with her favorite pet, a boxer named Mister. The focus on Holiday's dog is a conspicuous effort to soften the hard edges on the singer's story, but this is still an excellent introduction to the jazz great. Newton's glam-infused illustrations work best when depicting Holiday as a diva. Bib.
