The author of picture book biography Fearless World Traveler, Lawlor masterfully uses forgotten historical letters, a glossary, and rich back matter on both friends’ lives and art to introduce readers to musical history and — herstory.

Gorgeous gouache and colored-pencil illustrations bring the detailed period artworks to radiant life. Music lovers will rejoice over this worthy title." — Kirkus Reviews
