A 2016 Caldecott Honor Book and Coretta Scott King (Illustrator) Award Winner
Hailing from the Tremé neighborhood in New Orleans, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews were given his nickname by wielding a trombone twice so long as he used to be high. A prodigy, he used to be leading his own band by age six, and lately this Grammy-nominated artist headlines the legendary New Orleans Jazz Fest.
In conjunction with esteemed illustrator Bryan Collier, Andrews has created a full of life picture book autobiography about how he followed his dream of turning into a musician, regardless of the odds, until he reached international stardom. Trombone Shorty is a party of the wealthy cultural history of New Orleans and the power of music.
