From the publisher

Billie Holiday--also known as Lady Day--had fame, style, a stellar voice, gardenias in her hair, and lots of dogs. She had a coat-pocket poodle, a beagle, Chihuahuas, a Great Dane, and more, but her favorite was a boxer named Mister. Mister was always there to bolster her courage, even at her legendary appearance at New York's Carnegie Hall. Stylish illustrations keep the story focused on the bond between Holiday and her dog. An author's note addresses the singer's troubled life, and includes a little-known photo of Mister and Lady Day!


A heartwarming story of loyalty and courage, perfect for dog lovers and budding music fans alike:


  • Black History for Children: Meet the great Billie Holiday, also known as Lady Day, one of the most important and influential jazz singers of all time.
  • A Heartwarming Story About Pets: Discover Lady Day's favorite dog, a loyal boxer named Mister, who was always by her side when she felt nervous or afraid.
  • Friendship and Courage: A beautiful story that shows how the love of a pet can give us the courage to face our biggest fears, like singing at Carnegie Hall.
  • Stunning Illustrations: Lush, stylish art brings the glamorous world of the 1940s and the sweet, unbreakable bond between a star and her dog to life.
