Two acclaimed picture book talents combine in this award-winning journey through the history and legacy of jazz, the unique American musical art form. Carole Boston Weatherford’s poetic text is perfectly matched with Eric Velasquez’s powerful oil paintings. From an African drum to a slave ship to a Harlem nightclub, The Sound That Jazz Makes explores the African-American experience that gives jazz its passion and spirit.
Carole Boston Weatherford is the author of Obama: Only in America; First Pooch: The Obamas Pick a Pet ; and Racing Against the Odds: The Story of Wendell Scott, Stock Car Racing’s African-American Champion. She is also the author of other biographies about prominent African-American figures. She is a professor of English at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina.
