In New Orleans in the 1930s, young Sonny Comeaux has to work
before school to help his mother make ends meet. When Mama loses
her job, Sonny is worried. Rent day is coming soon, and if they
miss paying by just one day, the landlord will put them out on the
street and sell off their belongings.
Sonny wanders sadly through Jackson Square after school one day.
His attention is caught by Smilin' Jack, a popular jazz musician.
Sonny returns day after day, and soon finds himself explaining his
problem to Smilin' Jack. What Smilin' Jack offers Sonny then how to
raise money for the rent while having the world s best party
changes both their lives forever.
Award-winning author William Miller tells his most affecting
story yet, accompanied by Charlotte Riley-Webb's
brilliantly-colored paintings that perfectly capture the lively
rhythms of New Orleans jazz. This is a powerful story of family,
friendship, and people coming together to help others in a time of
need."
