Catel (1) (1964–)

I think I mentioned that I am enjoying graphic biographies. This one is no exception. I did not know much about Joséphine Baker besides the banana skirt image, and of course there is so much more to this remarkable woman. Trailblazer, speaking out against racism, spy, freedom fighter, dedicated mother to 12 orphans she found around the world, adopted and created as a model for the rest of the world. This book is a quick and fun read to get you started.

I absolutely loved this. It was a great biography that allowed me to get to know Josephine from birth until death. The drawings are outstanding and beautiful and help tell the tale of Josephine Baker. I can't believe we don't talk about Ms. Baker more in history. She did so much and I think it's just wonderful that she adopted 10 kids. A little crazy but wonderful. Highly recommend for people who love history, biographies or anything to do with the 1920's. You'll enjoy this educational romp show more through history. show less
