Illustrated by
Christian Robinson.
This picture-book biography of songbird Florence Mills highlights her humble beginnings as a "daughter of former slaves, who grew up in a teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy house" before chronicling her rise to fame during the Harlem Renaissance and the strides she made for African American artists. Robinson's inventive mixed-media art beautifully complements Watson's lulling prose. An author's note expands on Mills's benevolent spirit.
