Struttin' With Some Barbecue: Lil Hardin Armstrong Becomes the First Lady of Jazz

Acclaimed author Patricia Hruby Powell grew up in a musical family, became a concert dancer and choreographer, and married a jazz musician. When she hears Lil's music, she can't help but dance. Patricia's 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 children's literature.
