| Publisher Description: In this Newbery Honor-winning picture book, a young boy falls in love with the incredible music that his neighbor makes. Zeke, a nine-year-old boy with a lame leg, lives five flights up in a house in Harlem and amuses himself by looking out the windows. When the Jazz Man with his wonderful music moves into a bright yellow room across the courtyard, Zeke's life takes on new meaning. He doesn't think about the jobs his father works or how his mother goes up and down five long flights of stairs of stairs every day with the dreamy blues adding color to the drab world. But what would happen to Zeke's dream is the Jazz Man leaves? |
