About this product
Product Information
An inspiring picture book biography about the amazing Ann Lowe--the first nationally-known African American fashion designer. A careful snip, a delicate fold. Fabric the color of new petals. Skirts that flare like upside-down blossoms. A garden bursts into bloom! There is no "good enough." For Ann, only the best will do. Award-winning author Kate Messner, costume historian Margaret E. Powell, and fashion designer and illustrator Erin Robinson tell the powerful story of the ground-breaking Ann Lowe, who grew up in a small Alabama dress shop and became the first nationally-known African American fashion designer. Sought after by millionaires and movie stars, her designs walked the red carpet and graced the wedding of Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier. At a time when the world around her thought African Americans deserved no more than second-class treatment, Ann expected no less than very best for herself. THE FIRST, FAMED BLACK FASHION DESIGNER: Although she faced many hardships, Ann's spirit, talent, and belief in herself always shone through. This story provides an empowering, real-life role model for young girls--and especially Black girls--to relate to and see themselves in, at an age when building self-confidence is more important than ever. ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY AND PERSERVERENCE: Full of interesting details about how Ann came up with her designs, and how she always forged ahead in spite of setbacks, this true story will captivate aspiring artists and young creative thinkers alike. SURE OF HER OWN WORTH: This book makes a perfect gift for anyone looking to celebrate, empower, and inspire the women in their lives--whether daughters, granddaughters, nieces, cousins, or friends. Ann Lowe is a testament to the power of knowing we're both capable of and deserve ONLY THE BEST! BEAUTIFUL, IMMERSIVE PROSE: Wonderful, vivacious writing by award-winning author Kate Messner and expert historian Margaret E. Powell brings Ann's pride in herself and her work to life in rich detail. Perfect for: Parents, grandparents, and caregivers Teachers and librarians Readers who loved Little Leaders and Parker Looks Up Anyone seeking books about Black excellence, female empowerment, or Black history

Reviews
? "This picture book biography is as elegant as its subject-African American fashion designer Ann Lowe....Using repetition and lyrical language, the authors emphasize her determination....artist Robinson creates dimension, texture, and movement with her collage illustrations. The textiles float and flow; depictions of Lowe's creations are as lush and effervescent as the real garments.... A stylish biography worthy of inclusion on all shelves." - School Library Journa l, starred review, "Messner and Powell offer a persevering portrait of fashion designer Ann Lowe...Figural renderings by Robinson accompany, foregrounding dreamy ribbons and textile-textured layers that emulate the movement of fabric." - Publisher's Weekly, ?- "Robinson's digital art, full of textures, curves, and color, is perfectly suited to the subject, while Messner and Powell's evocative, often alliterative text begs to be read aloud....A deserving tribute to a designer who wanted only the best." - Kirkus , starred review

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
