Throughout this book, I was so happy to see the illustrations of my family members. The illustrator did a great job at making them look very realistic. I was able to connect with this book in many ways. Often, the band would "strike up" to honor the dead or celebrate just about anything. The jazz of our street makes us move our feet. So evert time you hear the band, you cant do anything but join them and dance.

Since I live in New Orleans the illustration felt like I was dancing with them in the City
