The Nutcracker in Harlem, by T.E. McMorrow

Parents will find this retelling of The Nutcracker with an all black cast (except for the mouse army, of course) particularly appealing.  My son enjoys it as well, though not as much as my husband and me.  The story is set during the Harlem Renaissance with references to musicians Cab Calloway and Adelaide Hall, and focuses on the main character Marie gaining confidence as a singer and drummer.
