No Cell Phone Day by Delfeayo Marsalis

No Cell Phone Day by Delfeayo Marsalis – Mom’s Lifesavers

Bonnie and I review a LOT of books. When I was asked to read a book from one of my musical favorites, I jumped at the chance. Delfeayo Marsalis is a legendary Jazz musician and I’ve been a fan for a long time. His book, No Cell Phone Day is a wonderful story, with an important message – put your cell-phone down and experience life with your whole being – better relationships are nurtured and lasting memories are made!

The picture book is illustrated by another of my favorites, Reginald W. Butler of simple machine illustration fame. It’s so appealing to read and I’m sure your family will adore it, as much as we do.

From the Publisher: “No Cell Phone Day is a children’s picture book written by world-renowned NEA Jazz Master and Grammy award-winning producer, Delfeayo Marsalis and illustrated by award-winning Harlem artist, Reginald W. Butler.

The book playfully addresses the idea of imposing technology and how it affects our relationships with loved ones.

In the book, Delfeayo and his daughter decide to put down their cell phones for a day to explore their hometown of New Orleans! Along the way, they see the sites, hear the sounds and enjoy all the great things The Big Easy has to offer. Most importantly, they spend quality time TOGETHER!”
