Meet Claudie

This paperback is the introduction to the first 1920s character from American Girl and the first children’s book from NYT best-selling author Brit Bennett.
Claudie Wells wants more than anything to be a person whose imagination can fly, instead of a person whose feet are stuck on the ground. She's growing up in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City during the 1920s, surrounded by writers and poets, painters and sculptors, actors and dancers, singers and musicians. Everyone seems to have a talent except for her! When an eviction notice threatens her family, her friends, and the beloved home they share, Claudie has an idea that just might save the day. But first she'll have to find the confidence to let her imagination soar.
Meet Claudie includes full color illustrations throughout the book plus discussion questions for each chapter. Also included is a "Looking Back" section that gives an 8-page overview of life in the 1920s.
