Jazz (picture book)

Jazz is a collection of poetry and illustrations that interprets the styles and roots of Jazz music including Ragtime, Swing, Bebop, and fusion.

Publishers Weekly called the book a "mesmerizing verbal and visual riff on a uniquely American art form."^[1] Kirkus Reviews praises this book that "stands as a welcome addition to the literature of jazz: In a genre all too often done poorly for children, it stands out as one of the few excellent treatments."^[2]

Jazz was named a Coretta Scott King Award honor book for illustration.^[3]
