Carole Boston Weatherford’s The Sound That Jazz Makes takes readers from African drums to Ragtime and Rap in this tribute to the history of African-American music. The poetic verse tugs at the heart as the pain and joy of a people are rhythmically woven together. Eric Velasquez’s illustrations highlight the delicate nuances of facial expressions.
