Pat Armstrong's poetry, so richly woven in, takes us by the hand and, as if we were blind, says: Here, feel. Her legacy as a poet—and more importantly, as a person—is destined to be words that, in some ways, helped us see for the first time. Is there a higher honor for a poet?” -Bob Welch, Author, Columnist, The Register-Guard

Lil Hardin and her man, Louis Armstrong, were musical royalty--inventing a new kind of sound--makin' jazz. Believe it, baby! This is the true story of Lil Hardin Armstrong: pianist, composer, and bandleader in the early days of jazz. Ahead of her time, Lil made a career for herself--and for Louis Armstrong, her modest, unassuming husband. Louis might never have become the groundbreaking jazz player he was, if it hadn't been for Lil. Scat-inspired verse celebrates how Lil overcame race and gender barriers to become the first lady of the Chicago jazz scene. "Brimming with a contagious love of jazz and its first lady, this work brings down the house"--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

Kate by Patricia Armstrong released on Aug 25, 1995 is available now for purchase.
Music has been in my blood from the day I was born, said Louis Armstrong. He rose from a troubled childhood and a life of poverty to set the music world on fire. Armstrong's lively trumpet playing, trademark "scat" singing, and natural talent for showmanship dazzled audiences for more than fifty years. In clear, crisp prose, the McKissacks place Armstrong in American musical history and show the impact his extraordinary talent made throughout the world.
