Great illustrations, text not sufficient for this life story

The life of Josephine Baker was obviously too multifaceted to fit between 24 little pages. The illustrations are wonderful, but the 2 lines per double page are not nearly enough to convey who Josephine Baker really was. I knew only her name before and this famous picture of her in the banana skirt. After flipping through this book I'm not really any wiser. There was just so much happening in Josephine Baker's life, and everything is just mentioned very superficially. 

I'm fully aware that this book series is aimed at very young children, but even they can handle the double amount of text I think. This woman and her story is definitely worth it!
