Especially his speediness in wearing those favorite red moon boots of his! With an apple juice box, his blue backpack, and his Walkman, Norman is ready for action!
"Everywhere he goes, Norman lets his love of jazz music shine! He's a groovy little dude with an old soul beat. Smooth, sweet jazz inspires Norman from head to toe. One can often find Norman dancing and singing in the street.
"In the year 1985, '80s pop music is all the rage. However, Norman is not a fan. To make it worse, that is the only music his parents would allow. Norman's endless whimsical energy launches him on an unforgettable mission to explore jazz.
"The joy of learning quickly blossoms into new adventures for our jazzy little friend. The sky's the limit for Norman! Determined to achieve his goals, Norman turns to a library, a classroom, and a musical instrument for guidance. Learning to read opens many unexpected doors as Norman boldly looks to the future.
