<p>In this unusual and inventive picture book that riffs on the language and rhythms of old New Orleans, noted picture book biographer Jonah Winter (<i>Dizzy</i>, <i>Frida</i>, <i>You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?</i>) turns his focus to one of America's early jazz heroes in this perfectly pitched book about Jelly Roll Morton.</p><p>Gorgeously illustrated by fine artist Keith Mallett, a newcomer to picture books, this biography will transport readers young and old to the musical, magical streets of New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century. </p><p><b>A Neal Porter Book</b></p>
