Biographical Note: Review Quotes: Praise for Small-Girl Zora and the Shower of Stories ★ "It's a delight seeing Black history that doesn't focus on oppression; instead, it's about the power of imagination and the worth of the written word... an immensely engrossing historical story, perfect for introducing elementary readers to past visionaries and locations." --School Library Journal, starred review ★ "The narrative features wonderfully lyrical language and spins out Small-Girl Zora's tales in whimsical detail; the vibrant illustrations aptly capture all the energy and never-ending optimism." --Booklist, starred review "A dynamically imagined, girl power-infused re-creation of an acclaimed author's childhood." -- Kirkus Reviews "A fantastical reminder of the power of stories, this is a perfect introduction to Hurston and her works." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Publisher Marketing: A tall tale inspired by the life and works of American writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston Small-girl Zora knows her stories are going to change the world. Although her neighbors might not believe her outlandish tales, she's sure they're the key to ending the drought in her town. If she can make people laugh at her stories, she'll be able to gather enough tears to bring back her mama's garden and more. But when things don't go exactly as planned, Zora learns that with creativity, determination, and faith, a little magic might be possible. Filled to the brim with references to Zora Neale Hurston's classic characters and details from her own life, Small-Girl Zora and the Shower of Stories is a joyful tribute to an icon of American literature and the everlasting power of storytelling.
