An award-winning writer and a Caldecott Medalist improvise a playful tribute to the creators of bebop—Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.

When sax player Charlie “Bird” Parker and trumpeter John “Dizzy” Gillespie make music in combination, they toss notes backward and forward like a game of tag and chase every other with sounds. As Dizzy’s cheeks puff out like a frog with glasses, the 2 friends beep and bop and push every other to create a new more or less music—an exhilarating fast jazz stuffed with surprises. Blending a playful, rhythmic narration with expressive illustrations as fluid and dynamic as their subjects, this tribute to the masters of bebop by acclaimed biographer Gary Golio and beloved artist Ed Young may have readers hankering to concentrate for themselves.
