This is a moving and impassioned picture book about the iconic fashion photographer Bill Cunningham that will inspire young readers to go discover their own ideas of beauty and embolden the world with their own creativity!

in the swoosh of a knife-pleated skirt,
and sartorial splendor
in Jazz Age garb.
