Trombone Shorty by Troy Andrews

Andrews has created a lively picture book autobiography about how he followed his dream of becoming a musician, despite the odds, until he reached international stardom.

Trombone Shorty is a celebration of the rich cultural history of New Orleans and the power of music.
