Ablaze with Color: A Story of Painter Alma Thomas

This book, Ablaze with Color: A Story of Painter Alma Thomas, was written by Jeanne Walker Harvey and illustrated by Loveis Wise, read aloud by Mrs. F.
This beautiful book tells us the story of the painter, Alma Thomas, who was the first Black woman to have a solo art show. Her painting, Resurrection, was chosen by Barack and Michelle Obama to hang in the White House, and was the first permanent piece by a Black woman. Alma spent her life as a teacher and an artist, and continues to inspire children and adults today.
