Vision of Beauty: The Story of Sarah Breedlove Walker

48 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0253-1 $$16.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Nneka Bennett. This well-written and informative biography captures the entrepreneurial character of America's first woman millionaire. Frustrated by the lack of hair care products for African-American women, Walker founded her own cosmetics company in 1905, becoming one of the most successful business owners of her day and a role model for black women. The spacious illustrations give a feeling for the time period.
