Stompin’ at the Savoy: How Chick Webb Became the King of Drums
by Moira Rose Donohue (Author) and Laura Freeman (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Though a disability stunted his growth and left him with a hunched back, William Henry “Chick” Webb did not let that get in the way of his musical pursuits. Even as a young child, Chick saw the world as one big drum, pounding out rhythms on everything from stair railings to pots and pans. His love of percussion brought him to the big time as an influential big band leader.
