Illustrated by
Fred Willingham.
A boy nicknamed Little Man has dreams of becoming a drummer and also earning money to buy a bike. He sticks with practicing his instrument even though his friends and brother make fun of him. Little Man is able to prove his skills at a neighborhood block party. The text is didactic but encouraging. Pastel and airbrush illustrations reflect the boy's determination.
