A review by editrix
Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

Wonderful book, wonderful audio narration by the late, great James Avery. My kids wanted to listen to this every spare moment, which surprised me because I didn’t know if they’d be into the old-timeyness of it, and also because they like to give me hell over always picking books with dead mothers in them. Really good stuff in here about family, the Depression, race relations, and a little bit of big band music.
