Before John Was a Jazz Giant: a Song of John Coltrane



Weatherford, Carole Boston. Before John Was a Jazz Giant: a Song of John Coltrane. Henry Holt: 2008. ISBN: 9780805079944.

Before John Was a Jazz Giant is a book about a boy named John who wants to be a jazz player. He is hearing all these sounds. He can play the horn, and he blew every note and made them into a bold different note. The pictures in the book are super, they look like art! My favorite part of the story is when John got out his horn and played every note he knew. My sister would like this book because she loves art, and this book has a lot of great pictures!
