I didn't really like this one at all. Reminded me a lot of Herman and Rosie, which I didn't particularly care for either. I think kids books about lonely jazz musicians are just not my milieu. I found the jazz-y language kind of cringy and the overall message a bit predictable I guess. Like no-one sees the real him, but then it turns out he's talented and they accept that he is large because he's got talent. I guess books like this always make me feel like, what if you are just someone who's body takes a form that is not culturally "acceptable" but you are NOT also very talented...don't you still have worth? Might be getting a bit too in my head, but I was annoyed because I purchased this book since it wasn't available in the library and ended up being like...meh.
