Tiny Tots in Tiaras and Tuxedos: The Life, Love, and Business Success of Kermit B. Hill, and find out why Kirkus Reviews calls it “an accessible, valuable addition to the histories of Black businesswomen everywhere.”

Through vivid storytelling, rare photographs, personal love letters, and historical newspaper clippings, Francene Hill brings to life the extraordinary journey of her mother, Kermit B. Hill—an African American woman whose legacy quietly shaped generations.

From safeguarding wartime secrets at the Pentagon during World War II to founding the Tiny Tot Nursery School of St. Louis, Kermit B. Hill built an institution that empowered children and families for more than six decades. This inspiring true story honors her resilience, vision, and entrepreneurial brilliance at a time when barriers were high and opportunities were few.

The program will include:
	•	Author discussion and live readings
	•	Behind-the-scenes insights into transforming family archives into narrative history
	•	Audience Q&amp;A
	•	Book signing and purchase opportunity

Whether you are passionate about history, entrepreneurship, education, or African American women’s stories, this event offers a meaningful and memorable experience.
