Play, Louis, Play: The True Story of a Boy and His Horn by Muriel Harris Weinstein
Recounts the childhood of Louis Armstrong in New Orleans from the perspective of his horn.
I really like this book because even though his family was so poor Louis always found a way to make money.But I really hate that his father just left him right when he had another baby . But I bet his father regrets that because now his son is the best cornet player ever . Alexus Norris

But one day Mayann got very sick and Mayann said "I need Louis". she needed him to make food and do chores. when she got better Louis started playing his horn with bands and became the world's best horn player.this is the best book ever.****
