Introducing Sandwina
The Strongest Woman in the World!
Ladies, gentlemen, and children of all ages will delight in this biographical picture book about a circus strongwoman who bucked social expectations. Evoking vintage circus posters, the illustrations apply a strict palette of golden yellow, red, and teal, tracking Katie Brumbach’s journey from a child in a family of circus performers to taking on the mantle of Sandwina. She raised a family under the lights of the Barnum and Bailey Circus before settling down and hanging her shingle on a restaurant in New York.
