I really enjoyed the illustrations for this book. They really convey a lyrical quality. The poem was nice too though I would have liked more facts. I wanted it to be more of a biography, but that just isn't the purpose of this book I guess.
I appreciated this review from The Happy Nappy Bookseller http://thehappynappybookseller.blogspot.com/2011/02/odettathe-queen-of-folk-by-stephen.html because it pointed out something that I was wondering when I read it. They discuss the nickname Burning Ham. I was wondering if the name would be linked to the bombs and burning homes of earlier times rather than the more benign burning Christmas ham.

Beautiful art, but the verse was somewhat abstruse and used dialect that I found problematic coming from a white-presenting author.
