Trombone Shorty

Story by about Trombone Shorty is interesting, but what makes this 5 stars is Collier visual interpretation of TS's life and music. I heard that the detail that set last year's Caldecott committee over the edge was the piece of tape on Beekle's crown - so innocent and poignant. Here, it must have been the spread with TS's friends holding their cobbled instruments. Collier has given all the boys hovering translucent crowns. It made me gasp, its such an arresting image and artistic interpretation of the story.
