Alice Faye Duncan: Blues, Beats, and Dancing Feet

Join us Wednesday, March 18 from 10:30–11:30 AM for a special live book reading with award-winning author, Alice Faye Duncan.

Known for powerful children’s books that bring American music and Black history to life, Duncan’s work blends vivid storytelling with lyrical language. Her acclaimed titles include I Gotta Sing, Yellow Dog Blues, Blues Boy: The B.B. King Story, and the bestselling Opal Lee and What It Means to Be Free, which has sold more than 100,000 copies since 2022.

As Duncan reads, live harmonica music from Henry Perry will bring the stories to life—connecting literature with the sounds and traditions that shape American music.

Bring the young readers in your life and enjoy a morning of stories that celebrate the music, history, and voices that shape our culture.
