Trombone Shorty




Andrews, T. C. (2017). TROMBONE SHORTY. Live Oak Media.

Summary: Troy Andrews AKA "Trombone Shorty” had a passion for music since he was a young boy. He lived in New Orleans, where you could hear music floating through the air any day or night. As a child, he and his friends decided to form a band by making their own instruments. Then, he found an instrument that he loved, a trombone. The trombone was way bigger than him, but he still managed to carry it with him everywhere. That’s how he got his nickname of “Trombone Shorty.” His mother and brother supported him all along the way. As an adult, he was able to travel the world sharing what he loved most.

Review: It is an excellent story for young children to learn about perseverance, community, and love for music. It shows how he never gave up and how his family always supported him. It demonstrates terrific illustrations especially the ones where you can see Troy Andrews with his trombone.
