Tina was fearless. Tina was resilient. Tina was kind. And Shay is determined to follow in her footsteps in this lyrical and encouraging picture book inspired by the life of Tina Turner.
With moving text from Ebony Lynn Mudd and heartwarming illustrations from Maruga Koops, Just Like Tina encourages readers to find the balance between celebrating their favorite performers while staying true to themselves, using that inspiration to forge their own paths. This story honors Tina Turner and strives to keep her memory alive for many generations of readers to come while reminding readers that being themselves is simply the best. The book has a foreword by Erwin Bach.
Maruga Koops illustrated Just like Tina with all her heart! Tina has been such a role model for women especially for women of color that anything is possible.
Maruga illustrated Just Like Tina digitally in Procreate after she used her sketchbook and pencil to sketch the illustrations first. She used handprinted textures for several backgrounds.
