In exuberant verse and stirring pictures, Patricia Hruby Powell and Christian Robinson create an extraordinary portrait for young people of the passionate performer and civil rights advocate Josephine Baker, the woman who worked her way from the slums of St. Louis to the grandest stages in the world. Meticulously researched by both author and artist, Josephine's powerful story of struggle and triumph is an inspiration and a spectacle, just like the legend herself.

Review
"What an excellent book this is."--Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
"Some books strike you as more than a book. The words and artwork refuse to stay on the page. They lift up and dance on your tongue, fill your ears with music, and send motion pictures before your eyes - swooping you away to another time and place like magic. So it is with JOSEPHINE ."--Elizebeth Dulemba
"Scrupulously researched, high-spirited celebration of the color-line-crossing dancer."--Los Angeles Times
"Powell and Robinson create a biography of a woman whose life and art are inseparable."--Shelf Awareness for Readers, starred review
"One of the most superb books you'll see all year. Excellent writing and dynamic illustrations that fit together like puzzle pieces."--Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
"Lovely."--Library Media Connection
"Josephine dances through these pages with such exuberance, she brings light to each dark corner. A beautiful book."-- Helen Frost, author of the Printz Honor-winning Keesha's House
"It's also, thus far, one of my very favorite picture books of all of 2014." --BookPage
"If your child's gotta sing and gotta dance, then she's gotta read this book, too."--Houston Style Magazine
"I opened this picture book and was completely amazed."--ReaderTotz
