Wood-Hoopoe Willie, by Virginia Kroll, illustrated by Katherine Roundtree, is a spirited story of a boy so filled with rhythm and music that his family calls him a wood-hoopoe, "a long-billed African bird, always pecking at trees or cackling in a chorus, making one kind of rhythm or another." When the local Kwanzaa festival is suddenly left without a drummer, Willie steps in triumphantly to realize his dream of making the music of his ancestors.
