A soft, artful spiral notebook that invites you to write in shades of blue. The cover features a soulful portrait-style painting of legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday with layered blues and contrasting warm orange accents—a quiet celebration of introspection, creativity, and blues music heritage. The hand-lettered title "Billie's Blues" appears across the artwork, honoring one of the most iconic figures in Black music history.
Featuring original Billie Holiday art by Antionette Simmons Hodges, this jazz notebook uses continuous line technique to capture the depth of Holiday's voice and the spirit of her music.

It's a tribute to jazz heritage and the cultural legacy of African American musical artistry.
