Every day he rode a junk wagon through the streets of New Orleans, playing his tin horn and collecting stuff people didn't want. Then one day the junk wagon passed a pawn shop with a gleaming brass trumpet in the window. . . . "A Horn for Louis" is perfect for Black History Month. With messages about hard work, persistence, hope, tolerance, cooperation, trust, and friendship, it's perfect for the rest of the year, too!Kimmel, Eric A. is the author of 'Horn for Louis ' with ISBN 9780375832529 and ISBN 0375832521.
