Little Lil and the Swing-Singing Sax by Libba Moore Gray

by Libba Moore Gray

Little Lil's fat-cheeked, curly-haried, horn-blowing Uncle Sudi Man could make his saxophone ring. But when Lil's mother took sick and there was no money to pay for the medicine, Sudi hocked his sax. When the medicine helped, the laughter stayed away--until Little Lil came up with a plan to bring Uncle Sudi's music back into their lives. Full color.

[Crystal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very sweet story of family love. There are several times when family members give up things they treasure in order to help their loved ones. The uncle plays jazz so music is an important part of the storyline.

Jazz-style prose, fantastic illustrations and a dose of music and family make this a great read any time of the year. Set at Christmastime.
