At the end of this project you will create your own 10 page elementary storybook that will describe the life or a story in the life and music of ONE of the musicians listed. Remember that you are writing a book for children so you want your story to be easy to read but very accurate so that they receive the best information about your Jazz musician. Don't forget how important it is for children to have good pictures that help tell the story. The more creative you are, the more likely the student reading your book will remember the information.
