Description

Join us for an exclusive afternoon with author Francene Mary Diane Hill as we celebrate her mother’s legacy in Tiny Tots in Tiaras and Tuxedos: The Life, Love, and Business Success of Kermit B. Hill. Before founding the iconic Tiny Tot Nursery School—empowering generations of St. Louis children for over 60 years—this pioneering African American woman safeguarded World War II secrets at the Pentagon. Now, her daughter Francene brings this extraordinary journey to life in a creative biography that Kirkus Reviews raves, "Readers will find this to be an engaging book that often reads like a novel." This isn't just a book signing—it’s a homecoming. The Afternoon Features: • The Tiny Tot Reunion: A special recognition and reunion honoring alumni, staff, family, and friends. Come reconnect with former classmates and share how the school shaped your life. • Multimedia Presentation: Step back in time with Francene as she shares rare archival materials and readings that reveal the hidden history of a local hero. • Book Signing: Meet the author and secure your signed copy of this acclaimed tribute to a St. Louis legend. RSVP TODAY! Space is limited for this intimate community tribute. Secure your seat now to ensure you don’t miss this chance to celebrate the enduring impact of the Tiny Tot School legacy.
