Hosea Plays On

This heartwarming black children’s book, based on a true story, depicts a day in the life of Hosea Taylor, a musician who—with his charm, talent, and generosity—brought joy to everyone he met.

Every day, Hosea takes the Number 42 bus into the city to play his shiny brass saxophone—and to hopefully earn enough money. Setting up in his favorite place, Hosea makes sweet music as people greet him with a smile, a little girl dances, and crowds surround him. A beautiful picture book with delightful text and colourful images which celebrates Hosea and the power of music.
