The 2010 book announced!

It is “Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans” by Louis Armstrong.

One Book, One New Orleans is a community wide reading program of the Young Leadership Council and the Literacy Alliance of Greater New Orleans.

During a reading period every year, One Book encourages residents of the
Greater New Orleans Area aged 16 years and older to engage in the common endeavor of reading the same book at the same time. Their aim is that through this shared experience, residents from the different communities of Greater
New Orleans come together and embrace their similarities by reading, discussing, and attending events relating to the same book.

I was asked to design the poster for this years campaign and have really enjoyed working on this project! Check out all of the amazing events One Book has planned for this year:
