An inspiring nonfiction picture book about Alice A. Dunnigan (1906-1983), the first Black female journalist to receive Capitol press credentials from author and illustrator Peggy Thomas and Tonya Engel, published by Astra/Calkins Creek.
“Engel’s impressionistic backgrounds painted with acrylic and oil glazes accentuate graceful portraits, and luxuriously bright colors make the work feel less like a historical piece than a celebratory retrospective.” – Kirkus Review
