This is one of my favorite books of 2025. I love that it represents a strong woman who is a tattoo artist. She was groundbreaking. Here are some resources and books that align with her story!
Here's my Instagram feature on the book
Kids' Books with Elizabeth on Instagram: "I hope I’m not being dramatic, but this is exactly the kind of book I’m seeing on banned and restricted book lists—and it’s ridiculous. A Black woman tattoo artist who refused to stay in the lines, built her own business, and made sure Black and brown skin was represented in tattooing? Yeah, we need kids to know her name. ❤️ ‼️Comment JACCI for a link!‼️ Also sharing the cover/link in stories today. @aartaccenttat2 @penguinkids @sherry_fellores @godleehaze #kidsbooks #representationmatters #blackhistory"
This book is awesome. It's great representation
