<p><i><b>Clothes to Make You Smile</b></i><b> is a picture book biography about Patrick Kelly, one of fashion's most influential Black designers, joyously told by fashion expert and educator Eric Darnell Pritchard and beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Shannon Wright.</b></p><p>Patrick Kelly was one of the most influential fashion designers of the twentieth century, but growing up in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he didn't see many boys who liked to sew. That didn't stop him from sitting down at his grandma's table and picking up a needle and thread.</p><p>Patrick loved the way clothes could make someone feel their best, and he dreamed of creating designs full of joy and whimsy. Those dreams brought him to some of the biggest cities in the world, but when he got there, he was told that his clothes were too vibrant, too tacky, and too much!</p><p>When the fashion world rejected his designs, Patrick just laughed and carried right on working. He created clothes for people like him, outsiders who didn't grow up fitting in but weren't afraid to stand out. He filled his designs with love, and when the world finally recognized his talent, they couldn't help but smile.</p><p><b>This acclaimed picture book biography is a top 10 selection of the 2026 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.</b></p>
