Harlem's Little Blackbird: The Story of Florence Mills by Renée Watson

4.0

This picture book biography of black performer Florence Mills is illustrated with colorful, cut-paper spreads and covers the entirety of Mills's career. It's a nice compliment to the other picture book biography of Mills published this year (BABY FLO), which concentrates on her childhood. Use them both together for a complete picture of this little known (even though she was very famous in her time!) woman who helped to pave the way for many black performers.
