  It was the biggest, the strangest, the most wonderful pet shop in the whole world. It was called The Noahs’ Ark, and it was built like a ship.  
  “After all,” said Mrs Noah, “with a name like ours, what other kind of shop could we have?” 
  But instead of rocking on the deep blue sea, the ship sat in the middle of a wide green park. 
  On the other side of the park, in a tall, tall building, lived Sophie. Every night, Sophie looked out at the Noahs’ Ark and made two impossible wishes—and one that was not quite impossible. 
  And the Noahs, who had everything else they’d ever wished for, still had one secret impossible wish too. 
  On a very special birthday, Sophie and Mr. and Mrs. Noah discover that sometimes, impossible wishes have their own way of coming true.

  Louis Armstrong has been called the most important improviser in the history of jazz. Although his New Orleans neighborhood was poor in nearly everything else, it was rich in superb music. Young Louis took it all in, especially the cornet blowing of Joe King Oliver. But after a run in with the police, 11-year-old Louis was sent away to the Colored Waif's Home for Boys where he became a disciplined musician in the school's revered marching band. By the time he returned to his neighborhood, the King himself became his mentor and invited Armstrong to play with him in Chicago. Here is a joyful tribute to the virtuoso musician and buoyant personality who introduced much of the world to jazz.
