Josephine Baker and her husband, bandleader Jo Bouillon, adopted twelve children from multiple countries and various ethnicities. Having lived through segregation in America, Baker wanted to assemble a “rainbow tribe” to serve as a living demonstration of unity.

Alongside her husband, she co-authored a children’s book in 1957, “La Tribu Arc-En-Ciel” (The Rainbow Tribe) hoping to promote tolerance and openness toward others. The book was illustrated by Dutch artist Piet Worm.
