DescriptionLil Hardin and her man, Louis Armstrong, were musical royalty--inventing a new kind of sound--makin jazz. Believe it, baby This is the true story of Lil Hardin Armstrong: pianist, composer, and bandleader in the early days of jazz. Ahead of her time, Lil made a career for herself--and for Louis Armstrong, her modest, unassuming husband. Louis might never have become the groundbreaking jazz player he was, if it hadnt been for Lil. Scat-inspired verse celebrates how Lil overcame race and gender barriers to become the first lady of the Chicago jazz scene. Brimming with a contagious love of jazz and its first lady, this work brings down the house--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED reviewAbout the AuthorAcclaimed author Patricia Hruby Powell grew up in a musical family, became a concert dancer and choreographer, and married a jazz musician. When she hears Lils music, she cant help but dance. Patricias debut book, Josephine, received a Sibert Honor and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor. Her equally moving and powerful second book, Loving vs. Virginia, established Patricia as a commanding voice in childrens literature. Rachel Himes is a museum educator, author, and illustrator. Her debut picture book, Princess and the Peas, puts a modern African American spin on the classic fairy tale. In Struttin with Some Barbecue, Rachel conveys Lils energy and verve through acrylic and collage illustrations inspired by period art and music. www.rachelhimes.com
