I really enjoy reading picture book biographies about people I don't know a lot about, because they give a quick overview of their life. Of course, sometimes I wonder how they are best used, but I'm sure there are lots of classrooms where picture book biographies are perfect. Anyway, I liked the art in the book, I think it captures the feel of the jazz age quite well, and I liked that it covered all of Baker's life with an author's note at the end.
