Young CeDell Davis was determined to play the blues. First, he made his own instrument from wire and a rusty barrel ring. After polio changed how he could use his hands, he turned his guitar upside down and played it with a butterknife, creating a sound all his own.
Written by Jason Peterson and illustrated by R. Gregory Christie, this nonfiction picture book tells the story of CeDell’s music and determination.
