"A 2016 Caldecott Honor Book and Coretta Scott King (Illustrator) Award Winner

Hailing from the Trem\u00e9 neighborhood in New Orleans, Troy ""Trombone Shorty"" Andrews got his nickname by wielding a trombone twice as long as he was high. A prodigy, he was leading his own band by age six, and today this Grammy-nominated artist headlines the legendary New Orleans Jazz Fest.

Along with esteemed illustrator Bryan Collier, Andrews has created a lively picture book autobiography about how he followed his dream of becoming a musician, despite the odds, until he reached international stardom. Trombone Shorty is a celebration of the rich cultural history of New Orleans and the power of music."
