Aston's Grandad Roy played in a steel band and Grandad Harry played the
trumpet in a brass band. Aston always enjoyed going to visit them and
listen to them practise. But soon he wanted to join in. So he asked
Grandad Roy to teach him to play the steel drums and then he asked
Grandad Harry to teach him to play the trumpet. He loved practising both
instruments. Then the school needs a band to play at the school fair,
and both grandads want their own band to play. Finaly Aston had an
idea - both bands join together to make one big band, and Aston joins in
first on steel drums and then on trumpet. This delightful story of a
mixed-race family reconciling their very different cultures is a
wonderful celebration of diverse cultures. Written by one of Britain's
foremost campaigners and media personalities and illustrated by a highly
regarded illustrator, this book is sure to build on the success of My
Two Grannies.
