A whimsical picture book about the first Black woman magician in the world to run her own show, perfect for Black History Month and Women's History Month.

Ellen was born in a home of glitter and giggles. Her magician father, Professor J. Hartford Armstrong, filled it with disappearing framed photos, flying Black history facts, and his magic top hat. When young Ellen makes a wish that transforms into a crystal ball, she sees her future: telling jokes that make crowds erupt with laughter until she's finally old enough to take over her father's business, performing his tricks and making them her own.

With warm text by B. Sharise Moore and playful illustrations by Charis Jackson Barrios, The Marvelous Magic of Ellen E. Armstrong celebrates the power of girls who somehow know they'll grow up to make their own history. Features illustrated backmatter with Ellen E. Armstrong's full biography and favorite magic tricks!
