Written and Illustrated by Shirley Jackson Whitaker MD MPH

"My skin, glistening like a panther's coat.  Making me so elegant and proud that I have to gloat.  I Am Lucky!"


Lucky is a paperback full-color book with 25 pages illustrated by Shirley Jackson Whitaker, MD MPH, the book's author.  Although this is her first children's book, she is no stranger to the art world.  Dr. Whitaker has a book of etching presently in the rare book collection of the Library of Congress.  Because of her desire to create something to celebrate the beauty of Black girls, she created Lucky.  Dr. Whitaker is a Nephrologist living in Amherst, Massachusetts with her family.
