Story by about Trombone Shorty is interesting, but what makes this 5 stars is Collier visual interpretation of TS's life and music. I heard that the detail that set last year's Caldecott committee over the edge was the piece of tape on Beekle's crown - so innocent and poignant. Here, it must have been the spread with TS's friends holding their cobbled instruments. Collier has given all the boys hovering translucent crowns. It made me gasp, its such an arresting image and artistic interpretation of the story.
Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews tells the story of his life in music from his childhood when he found and made do with a tattered trombone to his first step onto the stage as a child with music great Bo Diddley to his adult musical career.
A perfect book for my virtual Mardi Gras celebration.
