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!
