The Writer’s Center welcomes author Francene Hill
This creative biography tells the story of the author’s mother, Kermit B. Hill, an African American woman entrepreneur with an unforgettable name. Kermit broke racial and gender barriers, rising from segregated Arkansas to guarding wartime secrets at the Pentagon during World War II. She went on to found and lead the groundbreaking Tiny Tot Nursery School of St. Louis for six decades.
Drawing from her parents’ 80 personal love letters, hundreds of photographs, and original War Department files, Francene traces Kermit’s journey. The book reveals her path from a juvenile probation officer in segregated Arkansas, to dancing the Lindy Hop in juke joints, and ultimately becoming the founder of Tiny Tot Nursery School.
At the December 8 event, the author will read excerpts and discuss how she transformed genealogy records, weather reports, and newspaper clippings into a vivid, creative biography. Francene will also discuss how her parents’ love letters influenced the dialogue and real-life characters at the heart of her mother’s intimate story.
Tiny Tots in Tiaras and Tuxedos is available on Amazon or wherever books are sold. Bring your copy of this exciting read or grab one at any of these book launch events—and don’t miss the chance to meet the author and get your book signed!
