This "sonic adventure" chronicles the sounds of New Orleans as experienced by a young boy. From the squeak of his back door to the blare of his trumpet, the boy appreciates the noises of the people, vehicles, and musical instruments that make his city vibrant. Bold ink and digital illustrations reflect that liveliness; the infectious sounds make this a musical read-aloud treat.
