Author Ed Shankman and illustrator Dave O'Neill have created
award-winning books on Boston, Cape Cod, Maine, and Vermont. Now
they leave New England and turn their attention to the birthplace
of jazz, New Orleans, Louisiana Jazz, of course, is the only truly
American form of music, born from a meeting and mixing of cultures
where the mighty Mississippi meets the Gulf of Mexico. Drummer
Bobcat Bob leads a hot band of multi-cultural musicians, featuring
a gator on bass, a finger-snapping frog, and a horn section made up
of raccoons, a crayfish, and some loons. Bobcat Bob's band is known
for miles around - "They played like wind. They played like fire.
They raised the roof, and raised it higher. They played all night
and weren't done, 'Til morning came and they raised the sun." But
one day the music stopped and "the great New Orleans lost its
voice." Through months of darkness and sadness the people "wished
that things were like before." And with a single drum beat on
Bourbon Street, and then another, and another, the music came back
to New Orleans, better than ever Children and parents alike will
love this story about the healing power of music. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the New
Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation.
