Dant? Plays His Blues
"A resonant tale of a boy dealing with change in his own way." --Kirkus Reviews
From debut author Allen R. Wells and New York Times bestselling illustrator Shamar Knight-Justice comes a tender and heartwarming picture book about a boy affected by housing insecurity who learns the power of expressing his feelings through music.
When Dant? and his mother lose their housing, they move in with Uncle Ron and Uncle Joe. It's tough at first, as Dant? misses his friends and his neighborhood, so Uncle Ron teaches him to play the saxophone. Together they practice every day, DO-RE-MI-FA-RROOWWRR! Learning how to play is hard, especially when you have the blues. Can Dant? turn his blues into his muse?
