Catherine Johnson celebrates the incredible life of Josephine Baker in this true story chronicling her life from poor girl to beloved actress, dancer and wartime heroine. 
Dancer, singer, actress, movie star, civil-rights activist – Josephine Baker was a phenomenon! 
Overcoming the poverty and abuse of her childhood, Josephine grew up to become one of the biggest stars of the early twentieth century, particularly adored in her adopted country of France. She used her connections to help the Resistance in their fight against the Nazis during the Second World War and later became involved with Martin Luther King and the civil-rights movements in the US. 
Controversial and outspoken, she is an iconic historical figure and Catherine Johnson brings her story vividly to life for a young audience in this enthralling piece of narrative non-fiction. 
Catherine Johnson's latest work, Dance of Resistance, is a must-read for young adults and teens alike, offering a vivid portrayal of an iconic figure's life. The book is a top pick for readers who appreciate stories of resilience and courage. 
For fans of Diane Ewen (The Great Unicorn Rescue), Joelle Avelino (For Our Daughters), Hiba Noor Khan (How To Spaghettify Your Dog), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and Liz Kessler (Philippa Fisher and the Stone Fairy's Promise).
