Along the way, he’ll meet people who have their own special wisdom to share about being an artist, a leader, and a friend.
In The 5 O’Clock Band, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews has crafted an unforgettable love letter to New Orleans, illustrated by the incomparable Bryan Collier.
“Collier’s exquisite artwork rendered in pen and ink, watercolor, and collage brings readers into the heart of the city that Andrews so dearly loves.” —School Library Journal
