From Caldecott Honor winner Christian Robinson and acclaimed author Renee Watson, comes the inspiring true story of Florence Mills.

Born to parents who were both former slaves, Florence Mills knew at an early age that she loved to sing, and that her sweet, bird-like voice, resonated with those who heard her. Performing catapulted her all the way to the stages of 1920s Broadway where she inspired everyone from songwriters to playwrights. Yet with all her success, she knew firsthand how prejudice shaped her world and the world of those around her. As a result, Florence chose to support and promote works by her fellow black performers while heralding a call for their civil rights. Featuring a moving text and colorful illustrations, Harlem's Little Blackbird is a timeless story about justice, equality, and the importance of following one's heart and dreams.

A really nice pair of shoes
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Stucco
This is my second pair of Cole Haan shows and they're great. I waited until these were on sale so the price was amazing. The sizes run true and they fit perfectly. I have to purchase wide shoes because of my "boat feet"....lol They're very light so walking around all day is a lot easier They fit very well and are comfortable to wear, even right out of the box. The soles have solid traction. They look great and I get a lot of compliments at work when wearing them. For the price, fit and quality, I'll be buying more in different colors as they go on sale.
