Willie Jerome

Written by Alice Faye Duncan and Illustrated by Tyrone Geter

Willie Jerome spends his summer playing jazz music on the rooftop, but most people think it is just noise. His sister Judy, however, knows his music is special and works hard to help others understand it too. She eventually convinces their mama to really listen to Willie Jerome’s talent. This story highlights belief in family, the power of encouragement, and learning to appreciate someone’s unique gifts.
