故事中的小男孩一直想成為一個喇叭手,但是因為家裏很窮,所以只好用他的手來代替小喇叭,每天學著街角爵士俱樂部所演奏的爵士樂,直到有一天,他的機會到了,他終於有機會能拿著真的小喇叭演奏了。故事源自於一個1920年代一個小男孩就跟書中的小男孩一樣,後來也成了有名的爵士樂音樂家的故事。適合5歲以上兒童閱讀。The story of Ben is fiction, but it could be the story of more than one jazz musician who grew up in the twenties. Using the art-deco style of the period, Rachel Isadora not only captures the poignancy and yearning of a youthful talent, but in page after page of striking art seems to convey the very sound of music. |
