Ben's Trumpet by Rachel Isadora

5.0

Wow! What a fabulous book. The text & unique illustration style works so well together. This is why we don't just get rid of older books, but we do look at them with a critical eye. This Caldecott Honor winning book may be 40+ years old, but it has not lost any of it's beauty with a contemporary read. Would definitely re-purchase for an elementary library. Celebratory of jazz & childhood dreams, this would pair well with Trombone Shorty (Caldecott Medal 2016) & The Double Bass Blues (Caldecott Honor 2020).
