The 5 O'Clock Band by Troy Andrews

5.0

I loved this book written by Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews. The leader of the 5 O'Clock band learns about leadership from other musicians as he takes a journey through his home town. Ultimately, he learns that tradition, honor, and love are the necessary ingredients in making a band strong. The illustrations by Bryan Collier are magical and lyrical at the same time. They invite the reader into the story and allow the reader to walk alongside Trombone Shorty. Perfect for your 2nd and 3rd grade kid who loves music.
